Q: Should I use FileVault?

Got a mid 2012 MacBook pro and was wondering if using FileVault is a good idea for this machine.

 

Will it slow down performance?

 

Thanks

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

    So when I am formatting a brand-new hard drive, if I choose, "Encryption" I have FileVault ?

     

    ...

     

    Yes.

     

     

    I was surprised to read the negative opinions here about FileVault.  Some of those posts are little bit old now. I wonder if they are still valid?

     

    I have been using it with my latest MacBook Pro with no issues.
