 Whole drive encryption is nice, but you need to make sure you don't
 format the drive when you plug it into a Windows system - it shows up
 as unformatted and suggests that you format it - which kills the
 encrypted container.

We used to use VeraCrypt on external drives to move large chunks of data
to-from the data center - didn't want the risk of losing an unencrypted
drive and wanted to keep the auditors happy.
