Dear specialists,
I would like to know, if enabling encryption of Fedora installation in Anaconda installer will dramatically short The life cycle of SSD disk or USB flash drives or SSD memory cart?
By other words. Does enabling encryption enforces much more write requests on file system when comparing with not encrypted partitions?
Once the encryption is set up, the number of writes will be exactly the same. If you follow the recommendation to fill the device with random data first, that of course is one extra pass of writes over the entire device.
