You might know that I´am using True Crypt for some months now to encrypt and decrypt my entire removable hard disk that has 300 Gb capacity. All happens in realtime and I can´t see and witness any slowdowns so far. I´am able to download content to the drive with 14.2 Mbps and its working like every other hard disk. Yesterday a new True Crypt version was released and it has some amazing new features, let us take a look at some of them:
# TrueCrypt volumes can now be created under Linux.
# Ability to create a ‘dynamic’ container whose physical size (actual disk space used) grows as new data is added to it.
# It is now possible to mount a single TrueCrypt volume from multiple operating systems at once
So, most important of course is that it now supports Linux, which is great and if thats what kept you from using it you now have no excuse whatsoever to not try it out.
Take a look at the manufacturers homepage and download the latest version of true crypt here.
Make sure you backup all important files on that drive before using it, it´s always better to stay on the safe side.
