I decided to encrypt a 8TB external hard drive that already had about 3.5TB of data on it....mistake. After initialization, the encryption process crashed my computer three times (computer simply shut off). After a few hours, and seeing it was only 1% done, and because I had the data elsewhere, I gave up and reformatted the drive and decided to encrypt it while empty. So far so good....re-copying data back to it. I formatted it exFAT instead of NTFS and am copying at between 150 and 200 MB/s. Hopefully it doesn't crash any more.
