I have a 2.8ghz quad-core 2013 MacBook Pro with 16gb RAM and a 768gb SSD running OSX Mavericks. I run Windows 7 under Parallels Desktop 9 to do Windows development.
I would like to encrypt this data to prevent access if it is lost. However, my concern is that file access performance will be severely impeded (git operations are already very slow under virtualization).
I am considering 3 potential encryption setups.
1) Use native MacOS FileVault to encrypt the VM
2) Use the Parallels Desktop software encryption option on the VM
3) Set up Microsoft Bitlocker on the OS running in the VM
Can anyone share their experience or knowledge of which would be the best for performance under Parallels when developing software (git operations, compiling and editing in Visual Studio, etc)?
