Hi,
From almost always use a password on disk (IBM T61) I plan to change soon on Lenovo T520 powerful machine and I wonder if instead of using the password again to disk (set in the BIOS) to use TrueCrypt (encrypt system partitions) I have heard many favorable reviews on the safety od TT. In both cases, immediately after you start your computer, you are prompted for a password, but does hardware encryption drives in laptops is just as safe as TrueCrypt software?
