Title: Intel Atom Disk Encryption Performance ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "While the ASUS Eee PC 901 doesn't have its solid-state disk

drives encrypted by default, if you are storing any potentially

sensitive information on this netbook -- or any mobile device for that

matter -- you really should encrypt the data. When you lose a mobile

device or it has been stolen, it can be a nightmare if your banking

information was stored on there or even just passwords to your Internet

accounts. However, what is theperformance cost for fully encrypting a

hard drive on one of these Intel Atom computers? In this article we are

looking at the performance impact of fully encrypting the solid-state

storage versus an unencrypted LVM within Ubuntu Linux."
