minus-square TWeaK ( @TWeaK@lemm.ee ) linkfedilinkEnglish7•11 months agoWith such a severe slowdown, does that also mean it’s going to be increasing usage of the drive and therefore shorten its lifespan?
minus-square blindsight ( @blindsight@beehaw.org ) linkfedilink6•11 months agoIsn’t it CPU overhead for the encryption? It needs to encrypt like 3-400 MB/s, so it seems pretty reasonable that it’s a lot slower. The drive’s lifespan shouldn’t be affected for any reason I can think of.
