[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1311709, member: 45350"] I have no idea of the comparative level of encryption, but I do know that Filevault2 (Lion's buit-in encryption) is seamless and transparent once you mount the drive and enter your password. Is the same true with truecrypt? Is it free? and just how high a level of encryption do you need? Regardless of the technology you use the NSA will almost certainly be able to recover your data if they wish. And, your standard thief is almost certainly not going to be able to, or willing to take the time to, attempt recovery. IMO, unless there is some other overriding reason not to use Filevault2 instead of a 3rd party software package, I would go with Filevault2. (BTW: I would not have made this recommendation for the original Filevault FWIW). [/QUOTE]
