The external hardware encrypted disks are ideal for use on non-Windows systems or on older Windows systems that do not support BitLocker. Most of the padlocked disks I have seen are designed to work without software, so you don’t have to worry about installing any special drivers or applications to make them work. One of the primary advantages to using a padlocked external disk is that you don’t have to worry about software compatibility. Hardware Encrypted Disks: No Software Required As with any other storage technology, however, there are both advantages and disadvantages to using hardware encrypted disks to keep your data secure. These drives are being marketed as an alternative to using something like a BitLocker encrypted hard drive when traveling. Those who want to gain access to data on the drive can do so only by entering the correct code on the keypad. These hardware encrypted disks contain a keypad that is integrated onto the outside of the drive. Hardware vendors have begun creating external “padlocked” USB hard disks.
