Overview This paper overviews the top ten myths about full disk encryption. Myth number one is that full disk encryption increases the risk of hard drive failure, rendering encrypted data unrecoverable. The reality is that increased risk of hard drive failure may be a problem for poorly engineered software, but mature solutions that have undergone several iterations of quality assurance and user feedback, include administrator options to handle recovery of encrypted data in the event of a catastrophic hard drive failure.
