1 suggestionWe could not find reliable current information about HDD Password Tool's native Apple Silicon support status. The bundle ID indicates this is a Toshiba product, but the developer's site does not appear to have clear architecture documentation in public search results. Contact Toshiba support directly to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon (arm64) build is available or planned. Given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), this is worth verifying sooner rather than later — an Intel-only build will stop launching on that release. If Toshiba does not plan a native version, consider whether your Toshiba drive's hardware encryption features remain accessible through other methods (such as Finder's built-in password-protected external drive support or third-party drive management tools that run natively on Apple Silicon).
