To help give you an idea of the relative speed differences between the various encryption algorithms included in SafeHouse, we ran some tests and published the results in the table below. For each test, a 3GB SafeHouse volume was created and mapped to a Windows drive letter on a Windows 2000 PC equipped with a Pentium III 667Mhz CPU and 512MB RAM. The hard drive was a Maxtor 40GB 7200 RPM drive using a transfer speed of 66MHZ. The test involved a drag-n-drop copy of a directory tree containing 500 files of various sizes, totalling just over 1GB. In all cases, the internal format of the SafeHouse volume was FAT32; however, please note that similar tests using NTFS show little difference in speed.
