When security becomes boring and fustrating

so bascally i started to encrypt my hard drive recently well not my current drive but one of my old ones that have had for a few years so its got alot of data on it and also it is about 2tb so its big...

for he first hour or saw this was what was showing i was very worried but then after a while it went down to like 3-4days its jumping between those two days...

now i have question what would it take to speed up encryption of quit big harddrives, would it be a bigger CPU or RAM or what please give some input from the top of my head i would say CPU but im not sure of how the encryption process is carried out ?

what programs are best for encrypting DRIVES as i have heard romars floting around the net about how LE have been able to break true crypt with a back door and i know about memory attacks and hibernation files but i realsed that cold booting only works on DDR2 which i know i deffeintly don't have in my system so that's fine i guess...

(Im not trying to hide anything from LE by the way like i havent commited any crimes or anything like  )

but i just want genral knowledge just in case there is a reason for me to hide something from them in the l8a future

PS. didnt know about section

More CPU more write speed, weaker encryption.
Its the price I guess.

its not realie a good price to pay but it finally finished now so all is good

Encrypting 2TB of data using truecrypt sounds funny.
Just keep the raw data on without encryption, and if you think someone is coming for your data (in case it's that confidential), just take out the HDD and put it in between 2 heavy magnets. God himself won't be able to recover the data after that.

I disagree,  and so do the other 80% of the security communities. You can't just magnetize the drives, you need to physically destroy them. No matter how many magnets you use you will never completely erase the data. and with 2TB, the margin for error is too large to risk.
