In my world, there is no such thing as an &quot;encrypted drive&quot; in that no drive is ever not encrypted.  Other than booting, there is no reason for data to be stored unencrypted.  Whether it&#x27;s full disk, home-directory, or volume-based encryption, nothing should be in plaintext.<p>The only non-encrypted drive I need are thumbdrives for playing thing on my media player (WD).  But I&#x27;d love to close that gap should anyone market a reasonable media player that can handle encrypted drives.
