Im encrypting an external 8tb drive and Internet went down, need to restart my computer.
I dont really care if I have to redo the encryption, I just need to know it wont kill the disc
What would happen if I restart? Im at 33% 36h

I know there is an abort option but I haven't found an answer whether aborting actually works or just makes it worse.
