Remember if write cache is on, do not unplug without windows informing you can safely eject it… after asking for safe remove.

There you can select to fast extract (write cache off) or to better performance (write cache on).

On the General tab click on the button to change the configuration.

Go to Hardware and select the device on the list (here is the problem with VeraCrypt, it does not create a virtual controller).

Select any of thoose, right click and go to properties.

Open explorer and go to where you can see root folder of partitions mounted, C:, D:, etc.

I am talking about windows write cache, so i will explain how to enable/disable it for people that do not know how:

#VERACRYPT REVIEW 2021 SERIAL#

I had tested with other Encryption software (very expensive) that emulates a whole SAS controller (yes Serial SCSI) and also emulates a whole HDD connected to it… so on windows you can enable and disable its write cache… with that software writting small files is as fast as writting a big file (if such write cache is enabled on windows).

VeraCrypt seems to not allow windows to cache writes to the NTFS, because there is no way to Enable/Disable such cache, and small files writes is very, very slow.

Windows have write cache enabled (for the USB device), if not encrypted that cache improves a lot the small files writes.

Oh, yes i had been very afortunated i could had (for some days only) a mainboard with 4 sockets and 4 microprocessors with 16 cores each, so a total of 64 cores… and RAM, wow! it was 32GiB of ram in 4 sections, each one near to each processor socket with 4 banks each and a 2GiB ram on each bank 4Sections*4Banks/section*2GiB/Bank=32GiB… the fastest PC i had ever touch. With VeraCrypt encryption, speed can not be 1GiB/s, and goes down to arround 100MiB/s, CPU is not enought fast, among it has 64 cores (i will explain it later how to improve it)… but, copying small files makes speed goes down to near 1KiB/s with write cache on… it is VeraCrypt fault… seems that it is not allowing caching the NTFS that is seen by windows, and Windows only can cache writes done to the HDD itself.Copying a huge big large file (more than 600GiB file) on non encrypted fly, took a little less than 10 minutes), copying a huge amount of really very small files (with write cache on) makes same speed, please note that write such huge amount of really very small files without write cache tooks forever, aka speed goes down to a 1KiB/s (yes kilobyte), all theese tests without encryption.Encrypted with TrueCrypt, veraCrypt, DiskCryptor or any other will make read and write to be much more slower, the best i got is arrond 100MiB/s (one tenth of non encrypted), so encryption makes it to be ten times slower.

I don’t know what the drive’s original speed was though.ĭoes this mean that an encrypted partition is slower than an encryption that’s not encrypted, even after mounting it? Does it actually encrypt the newly copied files while it’s copying, slowing down the copying operation massively?Īnswer: My tests with a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type C hard disk (able to write at 10Gib/s, aka a little more than 1GiB/s) is: The other drive’s speed, after encryption, was much lower, maybe 10 MB/s. I just copied a file over to it and the speed was about 100 MB/s. I did the same thing with a similar drive. I want to create an encrypted partition on it with VeraCrypt.

Question: I just got a new external hard drive.
