Depending upon the capacity of the drive and the amount of data on the driv, the encryption process could take anywhere from a few seconds, if the drive is empty, to many hours or even a day or longer if it’s a large capacity drive with a lot of data on it. Type in a hint to remind you what the password is. In the Verify Password field type in the encryption password a second time. Then a window will appear prompting you to type in a password which will be used to encrypt the drive. Apple makes it easy to encrypt an external drive.The feature is built into macOS, the Mac operating system. Right-click (or control-click) on the drive’s icon on your Mac’s Desktop (or in the left-hand sidebar of a Finder window) which causes a menu to appear. Each time that drive is connected to another Mac you’ll need to enter a password before the drive is available and before you can view or edit the files on the drive. Do you want to encrypt an external hard drive or USB flash drive connected to your Mac? Encrypting the drive will protect the data on that drive.
