Don't have a problem with this at all. Material on a hard drive is not testimony, it's (technically) physical evidence. So the state is basically asking for cooperation in the same way they always do when you're served with a warrant to search your home for weapons, incriminating papers, etc. The safe analogy is a good one. This is a digital safe. Judge says she has to unlock it so litigators and law enforcement can examine contents for presence of evidence.

Not much to see here IMO.
