I've run Truecrypt on mine, and it works with small drives - 100gb or so. But it gets super hot, even with a heatsink. I wouldn't rely on it. This was so I could use it to back up my Synology box to a set of external USB drives and retire the older Mac Mini I had been using. I'm still using the Mini...
