LaCie's Cirrus drives come with software (both an application and a DA)
that allows partitioning (including partitioning multiple physical drives
into single logical drives, and vice-versa), automatic mounting, password
protection (for modification and/or access)...and it seems to be very
robust.

Incidentally, as reported here and elsewhere, LaCie is indeed fulfilling
their previously incurred warrantee obligations (from Kammerman), and is
still alive and well and making good, inexpensive hard drives.

Usual disclaimers (just a satisfied customer, and all that).

                              or how slow this poor old machine is, you
                              wouldn't ask why it is called 'drizzle'...
                              drizzle has siblings 'fog' and 'mist'...)
