Bit locker to go.

We use BitLocker. Its free and requires no installation. Mac users have to use Office365 OneDrive if they want to access files from home.

Veracrypt if Windows 7 Enterprise or newer OSs aren't an option.

We use Inegral flash drives with AES 256bit encryption.

They don't need any additional setup and are really easy to use.

They can be used on Windows and Mac's.

They have brute force protection that doesn't destroy the drive like some hardware encryption drives do (but does destroy the data).

They are cheap.

Yes +1 the integrals. All teaching staff have one and in 2 years none of the 20 or so have been broken or lost or even passwords forgotten (I may regret writing that..) We get staff to sign a receipt and write their password which is kept in the safe. We also gave them all a document explaining how to use it which helped.

BitLocker forced via MBAM GPOs.

Anyone know of any decent encrypted portable hard drives? I have seen these diskG - the world's easiest, most secure and affordable portable hard drive

 

but not sure about the pin code business.

Not used one, but just get a caddy and fit your own drive: Satechi LockDown Series USB 3.0 Super-Speed 256-bit Encrypted Portable External 2.5" SATA Hard Drive Enclosure (Basic Model): Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

 

Not exactly encrypted, but I really want one of these: Cryptex USB Flash Drive 16GB: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories . Not paying £40 for a 16GB drive, though!
