As Devil's Advocate here, I will pose this question: "What benefits are there in Full Disk Encryption?" I see the use of Full Disk Encryption as being akin the problems faced by users when their disks are encrypted by Ransomware Hackers. Do we really need Security by Obfuscation for 99.999% of machines? How many of us really need our disk drives to be encrypted? I have looked at this question often. My verdict is that the potential problems of My Own Access to My Own Data and being locked out of it due to Full Disk Encryption are more of a pain than the minute possibility that some nasty 'other' person might make off with my data.
