I need to password protect a 1tb wd hdd preventing unauthorized access. There was bitlocker option with Windows and couple of other softwares that does it by encrypting the drive. But it looks like encryption takes forever to complete when I tried it on a small usb drive. Is there a simple way to just password lock a portable hdd without any time consuming encryption methods? any free software for it?
