Use an SSD boot drive and keep Users on an encrypted data drive
So let me see if I understand the intent here… your desire is to have your OS separate from your user data (similar to how Linux and most UNIX's have a separate /home partition) and you wanted the user data encrypted for security, but you didn't want to encrypt the OS drive as you thought it would slow it down? And, I'm assuming that the 120GB SSD wasn't sufficient enough space for your OS *and* user data combined?

Exactly what I was thinking! :-)

Good point - intending to do that. Also firmware password.

I have now encrypted the boot SSD drive - took only 26 mins for 120 GB - whereas a 500GB regular HD can take 8 hrs or more. Also enabled firmware password and boot time just a couple of seconds longer. |
