    Ralph Hi and welcome


    Several ways, but all put you data in more risk of being lost.

    Software
    1-encrypt the drive
    2-hide the drive with permissions (and password)

    Hardware
    1-dongle without which the HD cant be accessed.
    2-Physical means

    But be careful forget a password, have a single glitch and you may lose it all
