I'm about to encrypt my D:\
partition (containing my documents) with BitLocker, so that if someone removes the disk (in case of theft) and takes it to another computer, it will be unreadable.
D:\
is about 700 GB on a 1 TB Samsung 840 EVO SSD. Will it be long (hours? days?), and potentially dangerous for the SSD's health?
I know that 10 GB write operations per day is pretty standard, but having to write 700 GB without any pause will probably make it heat up during hours...
Can we pause the encryption process in the middle, and still use the computer? Or do we have to do it in one pass (without being able to shut the computer off)?
