Even better than that, it says "No IP address so the drive is invisible to
anyone outside of your network; your data is 100% secure."

If it doesn't have an IP address, how in the world can anything communicate
with it over an Ethernet link?

It would be interesting to run a nmap scan on the local network where that
thing is plugged in and see what pops up.  Possibly nothing, if that quote is
an accurate description.
