Support Communities / Notebooks / MacBook Pro. Here in order to find a reliable 3rd party app to simply encrypt folders on my mac.any ideas?thanx in advance! Posted on Nov 14, 2011 5:25 AM.

I've tried and used Disk Utility to create an encrypted image, so I can store data in it securely. However, when I tried to write files to this image, the write operation was too slow (to write ~50 GB of data, it would take 1 day as estimated).
My question: is there a robust alternative that allows creating an encrypted space in the hard disk to store data with fast read/write operations?
