Advantages:

• Cost Effective to purchase – When you buy a Toshiba laptop you can purchase BeCrypt’s DISK Protect Standard, plus one year’s maintenance for the special price of just £29 ex VAT.
• Easily managed from a central location – An easy-to-use management tool simplifies the management of deployed systems.
• No restriction on disk size – software encryption will encrypt the entire disk irrespective of size.
• No alteration to existing disks – due to this being a software based solution, there is no need to swap out the pre-installed disk.
• Easily swap disk on hardware failure – as software encryption works on industry standard hard drives, the software & data can be re-loaded onto standard drives.
• No speed limit – the software can work on 4200, 5400, and 7200 RPM drives.
• One installer for all Laptops – making installation and deployment as quick and simple as possible, saving you time and money.

Disadvantages:

• Annual fees – most software vendors will charge an annual fee to cover maintenance & support. These normally cover technical support & software upgrades & updates.
• Can affect system performance – the CPU handles all cryptography work for software encryption which can slow down system performance slightly as resources are split.
• Can be hardware vendor or operating system specific – restricting where encryption can be used and meaning you may have to invest in a number of different solutions. 
• Can be susceptible to ‘cold boot’ attacks – which is when the machine is ‘cold booted’ (power is cycled off, then on, without letting the computer shut down cleanly), and the content of the pre-boot memory is dumped to a file.
