( tip in rare cases if your computer break, insert rescue veracrypt disk and decrypt your pc to be able to repair/install update in windows 10 ). If you encrypt the harddisk with windows 10 then you see a black screen with text asking for your password when you boot your computer. So it is only 1 time you encrypt the file container or harddisk, and then you just enter your code and your data is avaliable 2 seconds later. Then it "pre" encrypt a container where you can store data inside.
To people who do not know veracrypt/truecrypt. It take 4-6 days to create a encrypted 6tb file container. If i decrypt from dos/command prompt ( outside windows ) then it take like 20 minutes i think.Įxternaly on my network I have a NAS server that is 6TB large, and it have a much slower processor and run on 3x2tb 7200rpm mechanical harddrives combined together in RAID 0. If i decrypt an 256 SSD it take a little longer. ( formely known as truecrypt ) then it take about 5 minutes to decrypt and remove aes-256 and the decryption from the harddisk. Then decrypting the drive entirely using the fantastic software named Veracrypt When i encrypt my computers main harddrive that run windows 10 I thought I share my real life experience with decrypting AES-256 ( or sneak into your home and replace your keyboard or USB cables that send your data out of the house directly to them ).
example they send you an e-mail with sexy girls and when you click the e-mail/photo it install a keylogger that register everything you do on your keyboard.
Encryption is excellent, but be very aware that its much more easy to steal your code than it is to break your encryption. Nobody will be able to recover your data anyway since nobody want to +100 years trying to decrypt your harddisk -)īe aware though. Since you have the code then login and copy your files out of the harddrive to another encrypte harddrive and then dont waste your time decrypting but just format the harddisk. It sound like something might be damaged on your harddisk. Decrypting your harddisk of 90GB should take no more than 5 minutes on a modern high end gaming computer.
