Pros and cons of FileVault?
I was wondering if I should set-up FileVault on my initial MacBook Pro setup. I've heard that it's better to do this on the first setup if you're thinking about using it.
However, is there a downside to using FileVault in terms of computer performance, battery runtime, etc? I feel like I keep my data on portable external drives anyways and I don't really have sensitive information for work and school. Also if I ever really had the need to store encrypted data on the computer I've heard you can just create an encrypted .dmg.
So I guess the question is; is it worth it if you don't really keep sensitive information on your computer? Is there some other reason I'm missing? Thank you.
