No encryption here. For performance reasons I don't want encryption throttling my laptop CPU, or causing other issues.
I use the standard Windows logon password, but no encryption of drives.
I use keepass for my password encryption, and I bought Kruptos 2 Pro for whenever I need to encrypt individual files or folders. It works with dropbox, so I more of less have everything covered without needing to encrypt the whole thing.
- cyphar 10y agoI've never felt performance issues with full disk encryption, and I personally wouldn't feel safe carrying my laptop if I didn't have it.
- exodust 10y agoIt's good you haven't "felt" performance issues, but technically there would be a difference. I just prefer a slick, efficiently powered laptop using only the power it needs to do work. My laptop has 3 disks - 2 SSD and 1 HDD, that's too much to encrypt.
- CPAhem 10y agoWe use a boot password + Microsoft bitlocker on our work laptops. We use Syncdocs http://syncdocs.com http://syncdocs.com to encrypt all our Google Drive stuff. The system works OK, and should keep data safe if a laptop gets stolen. Probably won't help against state actors, though.
