Ecryption question

[Gregry254]

I have 2 hard drives in my system that I use for storing everything (docs, pics, music, movie rips and what ever else) and my SSD for windows and some programs.

My question is . . . is it possible to encrypt the 2 storage devices and have them automatically unencrypt/unlock/what ever when I log into windows?

I have used trucrypt in the past but it would mean manually mounting the drives before I access them each time I turn on the PC and since I have "My Docuents" on there that would just be a pain!

I thought about maybe making a batch file and putting it in the startup? anyone done anything like this before?

Not quite sure exactly what you're trying to achieve, but setting up an encrypted drive to automount without entering a password would sort of defeat the object of the exercise, would it not?

I am just trying to make sure if for whatever reason someone was to steal my PC they wouldn't be able to access all my documents.

And with it automounting when I log in I don't see the security issue with this as I would have to log into windows with a password before it would run the script and mount the drives?

I did think about encrypting the system drive but because its an SSD I don't know what kind of effect encrypting the full drive would have? I know you arent meant to fill the drive right up so when it encrypts it would it not be the same as filling it up?
