Has anyone tried this? Is it as good as truecrypt?

Yes it is almost same but it only uses AES 256 to encrypt your data where in truecrypt you have other options
You Can consider it has stripped down user friendly version of truecrypt

as in any software encryption there are work a rounds. If your extremely paranoid (like me) and you like wasting, i mean spending, you could purchase a fde hard drive. The keys get store in hardware and not software, only known hack for that is cold booting and stupidity.

Not everyone uses hard drive for encryption but yes If you have extra $$ to spend then FDE Hard Drive may be a Good solution

Disk encryption vs. filesystem-level encryption

Disk encryption does not replace file or directory encryption in all situations. Disk encryption is sometimes used in conjunction with filesystem-level encryption with the intention of providing a more secure implementation. Since disk encryption generally uses the same key for encrypting the whole volume, all data is decryptable when the system runs. However, some disk encryption solutions use multiple keys for encrypting different partitions. If an attacker gains access to the computer at run-time, the attacker has access to all files. Conventional file and folder encryption instead allows different keys for different portions of the disk. Thus an attacker cannot extract information from still-encrypted files and folders.
Unlike disk encryption, filesystem-level encryption does not typically encrypt filesystem metadata, such as the directory structure, file names, modification timestamps or sizes.

Thanks guys, I ain't got money to waste I mean spend lol so i'll try bsafe!
