How long would it take to encrypt 2 TB?

So I got my desktop right, and it has 1.43 free of 1.8 TB, how long would it take to encrypt with veracrypt? Also what are the chances or something going seriously wrong and everything getting fucked up? Bc i would cry if i had to re format?

I would estimate 48hrs.

if your data is that important to you then go buy another 2tb and make an image of your drive. Should anything go wrong doing encryption, you have a backup one. Once you verified that it's encrypted and everything is in tact then you can DBAN your backup.

Longer than it takes to burn your house down and move to Belize.

Seriously though, there's no reason to ever encrypt two terabytes. Encrypt a small partition from it.
