will-wtf Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I will be encrypting my 80gb 5200rpm standard laptop hard drive, my processor is pretty weedy at only 1.4ghz in total... Will it be able to cope with encrypting everything, and how long will it take to boot up once everything is encrypted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueCrypt has a built-in benchmark that will tell you how many MB/s your processor can en/de-crypt .. Boot-times will be just as slow as all other windows boot-times :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
