    Encrypt external ssd on mac sonoma?

    I back up my data on Mac to external ssd manually once two weeks and for security reason, my goal is to encrypt the external ssd with a password, similar to BitLocker on Windows. When I access the content, the password is required. P.S. I don't like the Time Machine backup option. Thanks
