I've gotten the recommendation to encrypt my laptop drive already from a few people, so I've been considering whether I should do that or not. My worry now is that if my drive is encrypted, then isn't it much more easy to corrupt the drive? Also I suppose there is some chance, probably as high as getting my laptop stolen, that I would forget my own password and lose access to my own data that way.
- kngspook 16y agoIf you are on a Mac (like the OP), you might consider using FileVault. Then, use a very secure master password, write it down and keep it somewhere very, very, very safe. In the event you ever forget your password, you can unlock the encrypted volume with the master password. I don't know if Truecrypt has a system like this now; they didn't when I last used them (about...what...5 years ago? O.o ).
