Editor's review of Dekart Private Disk Aimed to create a virtual encrypted disk you can use as a normal hard drive Dekart Private Disk helps you save vital information without any chance of accidentally losing it.

Strangely, in the very beginning after the installation there was an option of launching the program immediately while at the same time the computer was required to be re-started. The main window consists of several sections each filled with actions you can take concerning the newly born virtual drive. This encrypted disk is stored in a single file protected with the 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encoding. Other people can see the file, but they can't even get the names of the files inside without entering the password, which has a meter for quality.

Protection is additionally strengthened with hot keys hiding the disk when you are not at your PC. In our tests, the program didn't affect the overall PC performance. We recommend Dekart Private Disk for busy users who don't have time to mess with encryption.
