Apple have added an encryption option to its Mountain Lion operating system, making it easier for users to encrypt secondary volumes.

By simply right clicking on a volume in finder, the option to encrypt a volume can be selected, prompting the user to enter a password and a hint. Once the file is encrypted, they are unmounted and then mounted as an encrypted storage location. This was possible on Mountain Lion before now, however the new feature makes the process much easier.

Is this a good addition to Mountain Lion?
