VeraCrypt  Reply with quote  

Anyone using VeraCrypt to encrypt their system drives on their personal computers? I'm interested in doing so, but am worried about the performance hit when playing games, surfing the interwebs, etc. I have a 3.0GHz Conroe based C2D and a 512GB Transcend SSD370 drive.

If so, what kind of performance hit can I expect if/when doing so? (planning on encrypting the entire system drive)

Yup.

It says it can decrypt just as well as encrypt, so I may just try it for a while and if I don't like it take it back off.

i'd hate to loose everything in a senior moment of forgetting my boot password tho. Sad

They are firing up truecrypt again I believe. Heard is on the SecurityNow podcast while driving so I may be remembering it wrong.
