A customer has asked me to source a large (1TB) external drive with built in encryption. Anyone had any experiences or have any recommendations on this. Mac compatible obviously. The first few that a google search threw up required windows to log onto the drive.

Thanks.

I have this enclosure. Not sure if they have any that support SATA drives or not, but maybe it would work for your customer.

Tell him it's better to use separate software-level encryption?

E.g. TruCrypt, it's free and cross-plattform.
