Hello all,
I would like to encrypt my flash drive and would like comments and experiences with software encryption versus encrypted drive.
I actually got a virus while trying to research software, so I am somewhat shy about the whole thing.
This is for a personal thumb drive.
Thanks for any help.

Quick question, are you looking for a transparent encryption? Maybe its worth while looking at the likes of Corsair Flash Padlock 2 USB flash drive

Thank you Eirikur Eiriksson, I was looking for a third party solution as I already own a drive. However your solution would be the simplest, so I will look into that.

Thanks

VeraCrypt[/url] is based on TrueCrypt. I was planning on moving to it at some point in the near future the flash drive I keep on my key-chain.

Thanks everyone.

Cadavre, I will look into that for the future.

For now, I purchased a Kingston DataTraveler that is easy to use.

I have been using a Kingston DataTraveler Vault drive fro a number of years and found it to be excellent for transporting encrypted data. You can pick them up quite reasonable and they are tough as well as very reliable.
