| Sep 2, 2010 at 17:40 | comment | added | Brian | I've often wished my hard drive enclosure had a readonly switch like some USB flash drives do. That would make it much less unsettling to plug it into a friend's Windows machine. | |
| Sep 2, 2010 at 15:58 | comment | added | emtunc | As the posters below have stated; locking would either need to be hardware (like a switch on the USB) or done on the local machine. You could always mark your files as read only on the USB (right click-->Properties). Of course they could always un-mark the files from read-only and do whatever they like with them but the question is, will they? | |
