I'm going to do some research on my own, but I figured I'd shotgun my request to the community as well.
I have 24 3-4tb drives Pool'd together into a whopping 70tb directory that houses all my music, media, documents, computer backups, etc.
I'm interested in encrypting these files but still want to be able to stream them throughout the home to the rest of my PCs. I don't need to stream them to mobile devices outside my intranet (yet).
I've never used encryption.
My fear is that, assuming I don't change my habits, I will break and rebuild this pool twice a year. I've already encountered the pain in the butt problem with security permissions everytime I reload the OS and add the pool. I don't want to enable encryption to find out that I've shot myself in the foot and locked all my files from myself forever and ever and ever.
So...anyone with experience, please let me know how Bitlocker works? Does it, in effect, password protect each file that can be unlocked on the fly by another PC that has the key?
