And device encryption will be enabled by default by clean installation of Windows 11 24H2, called auto device encryption. [27] In September 2019 a new update was released (KB4516071 [28]) changing the default setting for BitLocker when encrypting a self-encrypting drive. Now, the default is to use software encryption for newly encrypted drives.
Ext2Fsd 0.68 cannot process EXT4 with 64-BIT mode enabled, then it could corrupt your data. Very sorry for this disaster issue, I'm working on an improvement. [1] While it is not very clear whether v0.69 corrects this deficiency, users have reported [7] that Windows 10 prompts them to format the ext4 drive even with the 0.69 version. The known ...
In 2010, hard-disk manufacturers introduced drives with 4,096‑byte sectors (Advanced Format). [3] For compatibility with legacy hardware and software, those drives include an emulation technology ( 512e ) that presents 512‑byte sectors to the entity accessing the hard drive, despite their underlying 4,096‑byte physical sectors.

NTFS Streams were introduced in Windows NT 3.1, to enable Services for Macintosh (SFM) to store resource forks. Although current versions of Windows Server no longer include SFM, third-party Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) products (such as GroupLogic's ExtremeZ-IP) still use this feature of the file system.
A block, a contiguous number of bytes, is the minimum unit of storage that is read from and written to a disk by a disk driver.The earliest disk drives had fixed block sizes (e.g. the IBM 350 disk storage unit (of the late 1950s) block size was 100 six-bit characters) but starting with the 1301 [8] IBM marketed subsystems that featured variable block sizes: a particular track could have blocks ...
The concept can be seen on [7] This is an improvement on removing [unencrypted] hard drives from a computer and storing them in a safe when not in use. This design can be used to encrypt multiple drives using the same key. Generally they are not securely locked [8] so the drive's interface is open to attack.
The BitLocker Drive Preparation Tool utility and the Secure Online Key Backup utility were among the first Ultimate Extras to be made available, and were released to coincide with the general retail availability of Windows Vista. [6] [7] [8] BitLocker Drive Preparation Tool prepares the hard drive to be encrypted with BitLocker, [9] whereas ...
The Encrypting File System (EFS) on Microsoft Windows is a feature introduced in version 3.0 of NTFS [1] that provides filesystem-level encryption.The technology enables files to be transparently encrypted to protect confidential data from attackers with physical access to the computer.
