SSD encryption for storage purposes

1

I have a laptop with a HDD (1TB) and a SSD (15GB). On the HDD I have 3 differnt OS installed. So I was thinking to use the SSD as a storage for Music and such so it can be accessed by all of the OS.

For that I would like to encrypt the SSD, which should be an ecryption mechanism that can be decrypted by both, Windows and Linux.

I wanted to use truecrypt but that seems not to be secure anymore. Do you have any other suggestions what encryption mechanism to use?

2As far as anyone knows, TrueCrypt is still secure. Preliminary reviews of its source code seem to support this. – Julian Knight – 2015-06-14T19:31:04.173

Veracrypt is a fork of TrueCrypt, still under active development and with a vibrant community. I would check them out. I've had success using it on both Mac OSX and Windows.

And TrueCrypt, I agree on steering clear - for the time being. Although the claimed insecurity of the program hasn't been proven, there is a lot of questionable activity going on with the program and the software's project page. With many viable alternatives out there, you may as well move to something that more active - such as VeraCrypt.
