I only run with one account on the computer I want this on so NTFS isnt an option.

I thought about hiding it but anyone who would say look at a couple 500 Gb Hard drives with about 1/2 space used and no folders might get suspicious.

The password allows me to secure what I need secure, and no one is going to ask about it because they shouldnt be snooping around someone else's computer anyways.

I run encryption software at bootup that after 3 mistries corrupts the disks but that doesnt do much for operating security while a user is in the OS itself.

I have looked at a few different companies but dont really know whom to trust. And 50$ is a bit much to go on a hunch.
