Howdy,
I have a LaCie Rugged 2 TB external drive plugged into my 2015 15" MacBook Pro via Thunderbolt 2 to give me extra storage since the SSD in the MBP is too small. I travel for a living so I encrypted the drive in case somebody steals it.
Everything was fine for awhile. That is, the drive would ask for the password before it would mount whenever I plugged it in or booted the machine. But then things changed. Now the drive just mounts without asking for the password. It doesn't seem to be encrypted. When I right-click on the drive in Finder, there is grayed-out text saying "Encrypting" that never goes away even if I leave the machine on all night.
Any ideas why this is happening or ideas for a fix?
Thanks,
Dave
