Yeah, but normally FDE overhead is so low, you may as well encrypt.
That's one issue I had with this article. It doesn't do any actually tests to compare it to other OS implementations. How can we condemn Microsoft for 45% slower speeds (in a specific benchmark on specific hardware) when there's no context to compare it to? And this claim is specifically only for software encryption where hardware level encryption is not available. Is it Windows 11 that's specifically causing this, or is it a general problem?
Did you even read the article?
The configuration has a powerful cpu and fast ssd. There are multiple benchmark tools used, and 2 encryption methods, software and hardware.
Yes I did and everything you pointed out does nothing to address my comment.
How does pointing out that they did tests with different CPUs and SSDs, multiple benchmarking software, and different encryption methods do anything to address my complaint that they did not comment on whether this is a Windows 11 specific issue? Did you even ready comment?
