Easy Steps to Password-Protect Your External SSD on macOS Sonoma
In this comprehensive video tutorial, learn how to safeguard your valuable data on your Mac by password-protecting external drives like SSDs, USB Flash drives or HDDs. Whether you’re protecting sensitive documents, cherished memories, or confidential work files, my step-by-step guide ensures your information stays secure.
Why Password Protect External Drives? As data breaches become more prevalent, taking proactive measures is crucial. Password-protecting your external drives adds an extra layer of defense, ensuring unauthorized access is thwarted even if your drive falls into the wrong hands.
In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to create a password-protected external SSD drive using the Apple Disk Utility App on an M1 MacBook Pro running macOS Sonoma. I will be using a Samsung SSD T7; even if you have an older macOS version, such as Ventura, Monterey, or Big Sur, you can still follow the steps outlined in this tutorial.
