[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1625127, member: 46727"] FileVault 2 is not going to stop a sophisticated thief from gaining access to your data. But as you stated, persons with that type of knowledge are not going to steal someone's Mac. If you leave your Mac unattended and do not shut it down, then anyone who can gain access to your Mac can also gain access to your data. Simply put, if you use FileVault 2 and leave your Mac unattended, shut it down. (That can be very inconvenient during a work day.) And yes, there is a slight performance hit when using FileVault 2. And one more note: Do not forget your password. ;) [/QUOTE]
