    Hello folks

    Quick question for those in the know, has anyone tried using Truecrypt or PGP whole disk encryption on a Z13 (2010) model?

    I'm looking for info on any possible issues that may cause issues.

    I'm running Windows 7, and have VMware virtual machines also running.

    Cheers in advance.

    I used to use Truescript on a separate partition. But I moved to using PGP WDE for the entire drive in January 2011. I ran crystalmark before and after installing PGP and didn't see any speed difference (though maybe it's not reflected in that - I'm no expert!).

    Certainly, I've not had any problems, and PC still runs smooth and fast almost two years later on. I have a VPC-Z13, with a 4x64GB Raid setup.
