   @Suiseiseki Of course, it's fucking Apple, is there anything they're doing right?
   
   And of course, the encryption has been taking more than 35 hours for the cherry on top

     @coolboymew @Suiseiseki Sounds like they're doing the old silly idea of going "dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/some-drive" before finally making it into an encrypted device.
     
     It's entirely pointless (on everything) and actively counterproductive on SSDs, naturally.

     @icedquinn @Suiseiseki @coolboymew In truth, not pre-writing it doesn't really change anything if one didn't make the mistake of using it without encryption before.
     
     The only difference is that wiping it with random data or even just zeros isn't an option.
