Depends on what sort of underlying file system you want to use on the drive. For Linux filesystems (ext4, btrfs, zfs etc), here's a good start: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt

For NTFS, BitLocker is already baked in to Windows.

I won't really trust Bitlocker coming from Microsoft.

What do you have against NSA_KEY I swear it's not a backdoor!

[–] idkman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've nothing against NSA_KEY nor Bitlocker, but anything in context with GAFAM I take it with grain of salt.

You have nothing about backdoors being built into the OS? Really?

[–] idkman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What are you talking about? Ofcourse everyone should worry about backdoors and other vulnerabilities. But I'm sceptical if bitlocker is the right solution.

On a serious note I use a lot of tools to circumvent those vulnerabilities.

You said, and I quote, "I have nothing against NSA_KEY"...

Bitlocker is only redumentary included in the cheaper Windows "Home" versions
only the "Pro" version actually includes proper Bitlocker tools which is frankly a pretty stupid move
