Hey Kurt, thanks for the reply. Im running an intel i7 2600k The initial encryption operation will write once to every block on the drive, Ok, so maybe im wrong on this but i've read that when an SSD drive is completely full its performance and life is affected.. And while the drive isnt full of actual data, its full of FDE veracrypt cypher correct? All blocks are written to as you say. perhaps this is a myth tho, and a full SSD behaves normally. sounds like your still getting good performance. Are...

Im about to install a new Samsung 970 Evo I want to run windows on it with VaraCrypt system encryption But as SSD's need to "trim" and have "over provisioning", im worried Will Full System encryption will damage the drive? (make it age quickly) Is this a valid concern? Or does VeraCrypt work well now with SSDs? How much speed can i expect to lose? I dont mind losing some speed, but this thread shows some MASSIVE impacts on write speeds https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/issues/136 As you can...

(make it age quickly) Is this a valid concern? Or does CeraCrypt work well now with SSDs? How much speed can i expect to lose? As you can see from my other thread, i dont trust the hardware encryption... Thanks

Just came accross this newly published reserch paper that got past the Hardware Encryption on multiple popular Self Encrypting Drives (SED) https://www.ru.nl/publish/pages/909282/draft-paper.pdf Samsung 840 evo & 850 evo + Crucial MX100 MX200 MX300 all compromised. God knows how many more effected... Personally ive never trusted hardware encryption. Companies often give in to pressure from Gov to backdoor their stuff. This really makes me want to go back to using VeraCrypt software Full system encryption...
