What is the best external hard drive in terms of privacy, security and storage capacity? Should I wait for a better one coming soon?

I’m looking for minimum 2tb of space (the more the merrier), don’t mind the cost

    Very interesting, thanks for the suggestion! I hope it isn’t too hard to setup, I’m not tech savvy

      I do it by following online guides, but not sure if there is an easier way. LUKS is like any filesystem you like on top of a logical volume on top of a volume group on top of cryptsetup container on top of a partition. ZFS is any filesystem you like inside a pool, and can support error correction and encryption. Someone else may know better about ZFS. For LUKS I found this except it doesn’t cover crypttab (automatic decryption when disk is inserted), and for zfs this is probably the standard point of reference. There’s also stuff like veracrypt but I don’t know how it works. LUKS is only for Linux I think, zfs might work for windows also - not sure.

        Ok nice research, although it seems to be as complicated as I thought… I’ll still follow the guide, thanks!
