    Yup, and for SSDs specifically, I’ve read online that once you’ve stored info on the device unencrypted, then down the road you use a software tool like shred, there’s no way to guarantee nothing is left in the clear because of wear leveling, so it’s best to always encrypt them before we start storing anything on them.

      Full disk encryption is just simply an industry brat practice. Everyone should be doing it on every system unless there’s a rare fringe reason not to.
