I want to create a VC file vault. Usually, on normal daily usage of HDs/SSDs it's recommended to let some free file, around 30%. It has to do with some technical aspect of accessing the files and causing less problems.

I want to know if this same logic applies when creating a VC file inside of an external HDD. Since I'm going to use all my external HDD size, do I need to have the file vault and some HDD free space? If so, how much? Chatgpt tells me about 10%. I have no idea if it's right.

BTW, I may be completely wrong, but by the small amount of posts I read, it looks like the file container is better even though I'm going to use all the external disk size.

I also didn't like the fact that when the external drive is connected, on this full partition method, the PC requests to format it. Of course, you can just deny, but it gives me some kind of anxiety.

Thanks in advance.
