Excellent points. I said earlier that I wanted a no-brainer solution where I don't want to think / worry about where my applications or, even the OS decides to store my personal data - this is why whole-drive encryption looked attractive. However, an attacker would need some planning to get to that sort of data out - a common thief would probably not have that kind of skill anyway.
- acqq 16y agoNo, it's more the question of the goal of the "attacker" when you don't do the whole-drive encryption. If you have the data on the notebook that are worth a lot of money and you can imagine that somebody would be interested at that then you should encrypt the OS partition. Ever heard about page file? It's on the OS partition, unencrypted. Temporary files? There, unencrypted. Even if the temporary files are deleted, the content of them remains on the hard disk. Unencrypted.
