Looking at your username, I can understand why you prefer an encryptic drive.
That's cool looking and I'd buy one

probably if the nand is encrypted it will be hard to break, but if you have the right tools bruteforce it isn't impossible (i guess, i'm not a digital security expert)

"XTS-AES 256bit encryption"
256bit means this amount of combinations possible:
https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2^256
~0.0012 × the number of atoms in the visible universe (˜ 10^80)
It will probably be faster to evolve technology enough to visit the entire galaxy than to break 256-bit encryption.

I'm not either, but one hint in the article should have told you that this is impossible to break:"XTS-AES 256bit encryption"
