[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 1383908, member: 51052"] Eh, I have a different view of several things than thexlab does (particularly in regards to encryption and RAID, on which I believe they're off-base.. oh and ALL data needs to be backed up. Period. Even 5 9's enterprise level solutions are still only fault tolerant, not fault proof and those environments also have solid DR solutions in place). Full disk encryption is something I've lived with for several years now, and to be honest, it's been very stable. I would also point out that I believe we'll be moving to hardware based disk encryption as the 'norm', even on consumer devices, within the next few years. Quite simply put, the threat of data-theft is real. Even the EFF recommends FDE. What you've seen, however, is the downside to any type of disk encryption, especially in external drives (which are much more prone to this sort of issue, by nature). [/QUOTE]
