    Wondering what people here could recommend I do if I want to have an external drive protected from people who may steal it (not that this is likely, but..). In other words, whats the best password access type thing one can put on a mobil external hard drive?

    thank you

    You could use a secure file encryption program like TrueCrypt, or Cryptainer LE.

    SafeHouse Hard Drive Encryption is another program worth checking out.

    Good luck! Hope this helps!
