To avoid questions of suspicious unallocated space with hidden volume, what about this: Use disk with vastly higher capacity than you really need. Use standard filesystem on it. For hidden volume, store data redundantly in multiple locations inside unallocated space of standard filesystem. When running from hidden volume you can avoid overwriting data on standard filesystem. When running from standard volume you cannot, and it could overwrite some parts of hidden data, but it will be repaired from copies stored in many other locations. Standard volume should be also encrypted to provide deniability why unallocated space contains random-looking data.

- Avamander 5y agoWhat are "PCIe SSD speeds"? A good CPU can do thousands of megabytes per second using a LUKS with a strong cipher (ecryptfs is a very different thing, not speaking of that). What numbers did you get from "cryptsetup benchmark"? Saying you want "actually competent encryption" and then resorting to using "BIOS SSD password encryption thingy" is kinda funny.
