Do you encrypt your OS drive?

[QUOTE="Malleable, post: 1010144, member: 90907"] Ditto. Always found the native encryption worked the best for me. Last time I checked maybe 2(?) years ago VeraCrypt gave me a performance hit on certain operations approaching 50%. Bitlocker was in the area of 5 - 10% after slowly improving over time. My Macrium Reflect image backups are just for emergency cloning to get back up quickly if necessary but primarily for easy and thorough data backup as I always do a full reinstall after any problems anyway. My backup images go to Bitlocker protected removable data drives with auto-unlock enabled and connected solely for the backup image transfer following second opinion scans, Autoruns and Process Explorer scans with VirusTotal enabled (yes, I know VT could be better), and a Comodo Firewall Free scan. I could do more but that's enough time spent for me. [/QUOTE]
