Best Password Protect App for External HD - Paid or Free

Hi,

I am looking for an app in which I can password protect/encrypt all of my external hard drives with sensitive data without having to reformat them.
Can anyone recommend a good app that will work for this?

macOS? The OS will do this, you don’t need an app.

Enable file vault.

Thank You!
I will give that a shot and see if it works with my external HD.

I didnt realize I had to enable it in Preferences.
