minus-squareAProfessional@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·1 year agoNo, it’s limited by CPU time. The drive neither knows or cares about encryption.
minus-squareSheeEttin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-21 year agoSome drives do, but it doesn’t affect lifespan either way. Writing 10GB of encrypted data is the same as 10GB unencrypted.
minus-squareTWeaK@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoYeah, I was thinking maybe the data would be written out of order or something, but that wouldn’t be the case. The data will be garbled by the encryption, but still written sequentially, or however the internal drive controller decides is best.
