Hi Everyone
I've just bought a 2TB Seagate Backup Slim Plus external hard drive. This will be for backing up data including some information I want to keep secure. I travel a lot and will be taking and using the drive in various public locations. I've just read that this drive does not have any security encryption like the Western Digital Passport plus series which has 256 bit encryption. I was under the impression that I could encrypt files on the Seagate using bitlocker or similar. Will this be as effective as the Western Digital encryption or should I return the Seagate and swap for the Passport plus hard drive?
Cheers for any help or advice.
