• Didn't quite do the trick

  Pros

  Initially I was psyched for this. The installation is quick and easy (none really) and it was able to create a huge volume.

  Cons

  Takes forever to "format" the partition which becomes the virtual drive. Then once that happened it takes hours to copy files onto the volume. Then you can't really run the files (you have to copy them back out).

  Summary

  This utility was a good 6 data encryption "vault" programs down on the list and didn't have a rating or feedback. I was hesitant, but after going through ALL the other utilities which came before this one I was pretty cheesed how they're all marked "free" and really are not. Most of the other vaults limited you to 100 MB or so. To get additional space you had to pay for an upgraded version. That's not free. One of them called for $60+ for a version which could do over 100 GB. Well that's not going to happen. So I was pretty disappointed at all the other utilities and then tried this one. It took 4 hours to "format" a 300GB partition (basically it creates a 300 GB file). Then it took over 24+ hours to copy less than 1 GB over. If I were to completely use that volume it would seriously take almost a year to "copy" files onto the volume. It takes really long for it to do any operations. It won't run files (you get error messages) so you have to copy files out of the archive to be able to do anything with them. Guess what? THAT takes just as long as it takes to put files in there in the first place. This program is worthless. I thought maybe I found a diamond in the rough, but instead waited over 24 hours to find out the program doesn't really do anything.
