Easy Disk Drive Safeguard Editor's Review

It is more and more common for computer users to have many different memory sticks, external drives, internal hard drives and partitions, each containing different information. Some of this information is no doubt sensitive to the owner, and therefore they may want to take steps to help ensure its security. An easier way than encryption is to just deny access to the disk or partition itself, which is where Easy Disk Drive Safeguard comes into play. Easy Disk Drive Safeguard can help you either hide, lock, or disable auto run on all types of disks, just at the click of a button.

There are no complicated settings or endless options to pick from when setting up Easy Disk Drive Safeguard, which I think is a very appealing and attractive feature. When you first open Easy Disk Drive Safeguard, you’ll notice that almost everything about the application fits into one window, with all your drive letters and potential future drive letters laid out in a grid like format.

The first thing you should do is assign yourself a password, so that any other users cannot change your settings without permission. You can easily do this by clicking the Password button on the right hand side of the window, or by pressing Ctrl +  P on your keyboard. Once you have done this, you’ll be requested to enter the password each time you open Easy Disk Drive Safeguard. If you don’t want to enter a password, this is fine however anyone will be able to open Easy Disk Drive Safeguard and modify your settings.

From here, it is just a case of selecting check boxes until all the restrictions are in place that you desire. Clicking Hide next to a drive letter will stop it appearing in Windows Explorer, whereas clicking Lock will allow it to appear, however it becomes inaccessible. For maximum protection, selecting both will hide and lock the drive of partition.

Some drives have auto run files on them, kicking something off as soon as the drive is inserted or opened. If you want to disable auto run on a memory stick, (for example, drive E:/), you can check the Disable auto run button. You can apply Auto run settings for different types of drive instead of individual drives. Using the check boxes in the bottom right hand corner, you can easily stop HDDs, USB drives, Floppy disks and CD/DVD’s from automatically starting anything as they are opened.

As a final layer of protection, you can disallow your system to write any changes to external media, such as external hard drives or memory sticks. This will stop accidental or deliberate deletion or modification of data.

Once you have setup your drives as you’d like, click the Apply button to enable your restrictions. Deselecting the check boxes will remove the restrictions and restore to normal.

In conclusion, Easy Disk Drive Safeguard seems like a very simple and quick way to easily deny access or hide your drives or partitions, in turn helping to protect your data. This is by no means a totally secure method, however for a home user, it’s a good way to achieve peace of mind that others users of your PC cannot access data which may be sensitive to you. Overall, I’d rate it 3/5.
