Hi everyone. I'm new on this forum, and I'm not using totally Veracrypt, but as I have experimented, it works like LibreCrypt, formerly known as FreeOTFE (that i left to use it, because that project is almost abandoned), because i have created containers with it.
If I'm right, I want to ask something: I haven't did this before, even with FreeOTFE; i haven't made an encrypted drive, just containers. But now i'm interested to make an entire encrypted external disk, and I wanted to know, how sensitive are those encrypted disk, to physical disk corruption?
I know if a "normal" drive has some writing or reading errors, the system, isolates the bad clusters and overrides them, to avoid any attemp to use them as storage (because they are useless). But I suppose that with an encrypted drive the risk is that physical disk corruption could damage the encryption and thus, lock the encrypted drive. I mean, I understand that an encrypted drive, acts as a file, that if it gets corrupted, cannot be opened anymore.
That's just what I understand about it, but I don't know exactly how those drives works, so I wanted to know how safe they are against physical corruption.
The fact is that I want to can access safely to the content of that disk, both tomorrow as on 4 - 5 years in the future.
Thanks in advance for your attention and your answers.
PS: Obviously i'm talking about slight or "tolerable" writing or reading errors, not of a severe disk failure or which the disk is not even working.
