[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1941116, member: 396914"] Two small comments. First, you said it takes 4 hours to complete. That's dependent on how much data has to be migrated and might be longer or shorter. For the Filevault decision, the internal storage on Mx Machines is always encrypted, whether or not the user elects to turn on FV. What FV does is encrypt the key used to encrypt the drive, adding a layer of security at virtually NO cost in speed of access. Here are a couple of technical articles on how FV works with Apple Silicon and T2 enabled Macs: [URL unfurl="true"]https://eclecticlight.co/2022/04/23/explainer-filevault/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://eclecticlight.co/2023/03/31/why-you-should-enable-filevault/[/URL] I did not use FV before, with with the new Mx Macs, it is turned on.
