[QUOTE="brigantes, post: 893878, member: 88084"] If you have SSD from certain manufacturers, and set BitLocker to AES, then the SSD firmware will not even encrypt the drive. AES has been proven time-and-again to pose problems of non-encryption because the hardware manufacturers keep making mistakes. Researchers have been reporting this for years. The only way to prevent this is to use software encryption, which will result in slowdowns. I own 32 HDDs. So I hardly dislike them. I am just a realist about about the technology and its limitations. In matters of speed and diminished speeds the type of drive being used is usually the most central issue. Everything on an HDD is going to be very noticeably slower to the extent in some cases system boot might take up to 5 minutes or longer. [/QUOTE]
