Why Does SGN v5.40 Take 8+ Hours To Encrypt Windows 7 Devices?

Sumladar

The time it takes to encrypt Windows 7 Enterprise devices isn't looking good.  I have tried on at least 10 different newer models from Dell and Lenovo.  I've also tried it on an SSD drive (Intel X25-M) and still took 8+ hours for encryption.  Additionally the time to go from power on to the Windows desktop has now tripled.  When I tested the same devices with Windows XP with SP3 installed I experienced excellent encryption times (compared to SGE anyways) and the boot up time had an acceptable increase in of less than double.

    Daniel I definately like what appears to be true hard drive throtling.  It is an amazing diference from SGE in which you couldnt do anything resonable until the encryption was complete.  Most of my company device builds though are done in a build depot environment by techs.  The device will not be delivered to the end client until the encryption is complete.  We have around 50,000 laptops so you can see my delema.  What was a pain of around 1 hour for build and  2.5 hours for encryption with SGE for a device now cause a build drift into two working days to complete.

    AndyB I am happy that you are experiencing excellent results.  I believe we have a D630 in the lab so I will give it a try.
