        |   
        |   Hi,
        |   
        |   I am looking for a solution to encrypt the hard 
        |   drives which contain confidential info. Ideally, 
        |   this tool would be transparent and usable on all 
        |   the drives on the computer/laptop  (from c: to z:). 
        |   Ideally it would be easy to set up and manage, not 
        |   a problem if the tool is not free. Any experience 
        |   on this? What algorithm(s) does it use? 
        |   Another option would be to use external encrypted 
        |   drives to store the info. What are the options here?
        |   
        |   I am looking for some background information, to 
        |   short-list all the options. 
        |   
        |   Thanks for the help!
        |
