It would appear that SanDisk may have committed a rather basic error in the Enterprise disk. The password requirement on them is overly restrictive and specific.
If you know the password must have three each of lower, upper and numeric you can rule out a huge part of the key space. Accounting for regular user tendencies, such as picking near minimum password lengths and the native language used, you could build an optimized dictionary that would crack the majority of these keys in VERY short order.
AES still requires good password security or it is little better than DES...
