In business 80 percent of sales were from 20% of customers. Inventory was 80% of value was in 20% of SKUs. So only about 20% of my data is valuable enough to encrypt (without even checking sizes). Or I have one smaller encrypted partition for that data. I am sure you do not want my vacation photos and most would not want the music I ripped unless a Johnny Cash fan.

So financial info and a few other things are all I need in an encrypted partition.
