By definition, the Unlocker and Smartware can not be a “rootkit”.
A rootkit, by definition, hides its existence. Applications that put a shortcut on your desktop and things in the taskbar, even if they were malware or contained malware, can’t possibly be rootkits.
It does come down to, if you didn’t want a lockable drive that needs the unlocker, and are that paranoid of any application you didn’t write yourself, then why buy a drive that needs support applications installed to function properly?
As Wizer points out, you can easily buy a 3TB Elements: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=%223TB%20Elements%22
