Hello,
My Mac is encrypted with FileVault, the macOS native tool. However, I want to encrypt with password my external drives, which are also formatted in APFS.
The drives are Samsung T7, and they come with their own Samsung software to enable some sort of what they call hardware encryption, using their software. But I prefer not to install their software on my Mac.
So my question is, is it better to use Samsung own tools to encrypt this T7 SSDs? Or using FileVault to encrypt them is as safe as using Samsung tools?
