I had to scroll way too far to find this. Especially considering that I have a desktop with full disk encryption, I don't worry about it. If anyone ever did break into my house and take my computer, they would have to unplug it first; at that point, the disk would encrypt, and they'd have some really nice hardware which sucks for me, but that's all they'd get.

The disk is always encrypted. When data is accessed, it is stored decrypted in RAM. The drive doesn't decrypt when unlocking it and doesn't encrypt when turning it off.

I feel that. All the information stored on my PC isnt worth a fraction of what my graphics graphics card cost...
