| | Encrypting entire external USB drive Hi, I have several hard drives full of personal documents (pictures, videos, etc) that I connect to a USB3 docking station whenever needed. I would like to password encrypt these drives. Can I do this with Truecrypt or Bitlocker? Which one is better? Will I risk losing all data during the encryption process or is it a safe operation? Most of the tutorials in Youtube describe how to encrypt system OS drives but not external USB drives. Thanks. |

| | Since you are using Ultimate, I would use Bitlocker. Background reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitLoc...ive_Encryption Some tutorials: BitLocker Drive Encryption - Windows 7 Drive - Turn On or Off with no TPM BitLocker Drive Encryption - Change Encryption Method and Cipher Strength Bitlocker - Lock an Unlocked Drive |
