He has one machine on a Intel SS drive and it is encrypted with no issues. Dont think he is using Bit Locker. He has 2 other machines that he wants encrypted as well. He asked if Bit Locker would do the job and I am finding in Win7 you will get a 17% performance hit using Bit Locker even if drives support hardware encryption but if Win 8 it would not have this performance hit. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks. hx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking to him about getting a NAS for that reason. In his system he has an Intel 540 SSD that is 3 years old which is a SED (Self Encrypting Drive). I think a SED is the best option since his BIOS supports it. Screw Bit Locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time we notice a difference is when the computer are new installed and running the encryption for the harddrive, that they only do "once".
