    I have a USB with hardware encryption (type in title) and it supports Windows and OSX. The problem is I don't use Windows or OSX, I use Linux. It's hardware encrypted though, so will it still have the benefits of hardware encryption (speed) if I use truecrypt and not the Kingston software?

    Yes, it appears to be. It looks like part of it is forced to be read only, which is preventing it.
