Frost Drive Vault

Tax returns. Business books. The scans of everything important. Most home PCs run Windows Home edition — which doesn't include Microsoft's drive encryption at all. Drive Vault creates a hidden, AES-256 encrypted vault drive on your PC for the files that would hurt most in the wrong hands, and locks it the moment you walk away.

Planned price: $79 one-time Windows 10 & 11 — incl. Home edition AES-256 encryption

What's Inside

A safe built into your PC

Encrypted vault drive — a separate drive letter that appears when unlocked and vanishes when locked. Files inside are AES-256 encrypted at rest.
Made for Windows Home — strong whole-vault encryption for the edition most families actually own, no Pro upgrade required.
USB-key unlock — plug in your USB stick and the vault opens; pull it out and the vault locks. Your key stays in your pocket, not on the PC.
Optional emergency wipe — if the vault password is entered wrong too many times (a number you set), the vault can wipe itself. Off by default; armed only if you choose it.
Hidden by default — when locked, the vault doesn't advertise itself on the desktop or in Explorer.
Plain-English setup — pick a size, pick a password, done. Recovery guidance in words a human can follow.

Honest notes

Encryption protects files at rest — a locked vault on a stolen laptop. It can't protect files while the vault is open and the PC is in use.
Forget the password and lose the USB key, and the vault is gone — that's what real encryption means. Setup makes you acknowledge it, and shows you how to keep a recovery backup.

Drive Vault FAQ

My Windows already has BitLocker. Do I need this?

If you run Windows Pro with BitLocker on, you're covered for whole-drive encryption. Drive Vault is for the far more common case: Windows Home PCs with no built-in option — and for anyone who wants one specific vault, separate from the rest of the drive, with USB-key access.

Is the emergency wipe dangerous?

It's off unless you turn it on, and you set the wrong-try limit. It's there for people whose threat is real — a stolen laptop full of client files — not as a default.
