  Probably not. What is your threat model? Full disk encryption only solves part of an overall threat model. The biggest difference between VeraCrypt and FileVault is that one is open source and auditable.

Otherwise the differences are largely the same: how long is your passphrase, where do you store that, etc. https://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2012/08/06/analysis-of-f https://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2012/08/06/analysis-of-f... https://eprint.iacr.org/2012/374.pdf https://eprint.iacr.org/2012/374.pdf
