1) Can we create Multiple partitions on these Drive ... using MBR layout ?
2) if we open the case, and plug the hdd internally using sata, can we access partitions ? (on many WD my book models, automatic encryption work in background, courtesy of which partitions won't be accessible when we plug External hdd internally )
3) Any automatic background Encryption workiing ??? (as seen in many External WD my book models )
4) are there Power saving features in Seagate / WDC ?

it says ... USB 3 in product title
 
Yeah please confirm, it will help me also :P I've seen that many places they have made such mistakes. They just copy paste the description from some place. The specs and especially the model no gives the correct info. I think the description is taken from Seagate India website which says USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 (with appropriate docks).

See here ---> Desktop hard drive | External Desktop hard drives | FreeAgent | GoFlex Desk | Seagate

It clearly says no 2TB USB 3.0 model. STAC2000300 is 2 TB USB 2.0. You'll have to take the USB 3.0 dock (STAE106) to get USB 3.0
