Here is an idea you might want to consider. Do not use an external USB drive. Use an internal drive of sufficient capacity. There are programs available that will "disable your usb ports" using a password. Also there is a program called "Easy Disk Drive SafeGuard" this will write protect your files and still can be used on your computer. I believe it is a $40 program. The programs that will disable the USB ports cost about the same. There are also other methods to disable the ports also. These you can check out.
I have not yet done this as I am looking to upgrade my laptop drive first. I know that the EDDS program does work, but not with external drive.
Good Luck. I will post again after I have upgraded.
