Can't speak specifically about creating encrypted USB HDDs but if you liked
TrueCrypt, I'd strongly urge you to look at Veracrypt.
https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Downloads

I tried it and it looked so like tc (which I've used for years) that I was
actually quite surprised when it couldn't read a truecrypt container. But
it does seem to work well.

Cheers
Rob
