what is the best password protected external hard drive for a macbook leopard 10.5.8? i need more security to prevent some worthless people from stealing my game save data, because they are so worthless that the only way they can have access to HR9 gear is by stealing the efforts of my hard work instead of working for it themselves. thanks!

Hi John, you don't need a special drive, just make & mount an encrypted Disk Image in disk Utility, save data to that, & don't allow Keychain to save the password. 🙂

Well, they could copy the Disk Image all they want, but if you use a complicated Password they likely couldn't get any info out of it/Mount it even, for several hundred years of cracking attempts. 😉
