Does BitLocker reduce write reliability?
- by Unsigned
For the purposes of this question, BitLocker refers to the BitLocker-to-go variety on a disk with write-caching disabled.
NTFS supports metadata journaling, which, although not completely failsafe, does mitigate certain types of potential filesystem errors.
Assuming an NTFS volume is protected with BitLocker, does this reduce the failure tolerance? Would a power failure during a write to an NTFS volume, that's protected with BitLocker, be more prone to corruption than on an unencrypted NTFS volume?
