For work and business… data encryption is important.
For home… you need balance. Businesses have backups if there is a drive failure. If a home PC drive fails and you need to recover data…. an unencrypted drive is much easier to rescue the data (family pictures!). An encrypted drive also performs a litle slower, then again as technologies continue to run ever faster…. the difference may be negligible.
@xl thanks for the comments. All good points, and some great advice. As you stated the encrypted drive does perform a tad bit slower, however for the most part you will never notice it. I would highly recommend keeping your home backup drive stored in a secure place, and only attach it to your computer to perform backups when needed.
Are you currently using any form of encryption on your home PC?
