They're all likely awful. My advice is to leave that part to well tested and trusted encryption softwares.

Ex: VeraCrypt, LUKS2, Cryptomator, Gocryptfs

Our problem is that we're using these as boot drives and transferring files to appliances (ie network switches, etc) so we can't use a lot of the software based encryption.

I'll just hope that the iStorage and Apricorn drives use more than smoke & mirrors to protect the contents
