[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 893784, member: 53544"] Hello everybody. I want to encrypt my whole drive, so in case anybody wants to access my information by, for example, removing my drive and connecting it somewhere else, they cannot. [B]My question is: which software do you recommend to do this?[/B] My first obvious choice was: VeraCrypt, the true descendant of TrueCrypt and software I use daily for encrypting virtual drives to secure my sensitive data. Now, I tried this software, and despite it works, my booting is painfully slow (no encryption, 5 seconds, encryption, 90 seconds) So I'm considering BitLocker since it's built in, but now again: is it really secure? There have been leaks that Microsoft has no worries in working along NSA and similar to unlock your data. I beg you avoid comments such as "if you have nothing to hide you shouldn't worry about NSA". Of course I'm clean but that doesn't mean I wanna give up my information. If NSA can do it, cybercriminals can too, and as far as it goes, NSA tools have been leaked in the past, and huge mess was made. So you get my point. Recommendations? [/QUOTE]
