Full Hard Disk Drive Encryption Benchmarks and Performance

Tags:
data recovery - security

Overview The author has been messing with and testing the Guardian Edge full hard disk encryption solution for the past few months. Basically, one installs the encryption client and it encrypts the entire hard drive by reading the data and applying an encryption algorithm. Furthermore, after one has finished the initial encryption of the drive, the encryption program will continue to run in the background and continue to encrypt any new data be written to one's drive. Applying the encryption algorithm, whether one is encrypting or decrypting, requires CPU power. Once the CPU is done processing, the data can then be read or written to the drive.
