    Hi,

    Please share your experience.
    Or does anyone successfully use any other hdd encryption software on the m11x
    Any recommendations or disagrees? Would a fully decrypted hdd decrease performance?

    Thanks

    If you have Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate, windows can encrypt everything (encrypting FS, iirc). Ultimate also has bitlocker.


    Will there be a noticeable performance hit? Not really noticeable.
