Anyone have any experience with bitlocker?

How long does it take to encrypt a 1tb portable drive on sata2 port?

if it's an empty drive, you can choose to do encryption for used disk space only. it's very much faster than to do a whole disk encryption.

before you do this, you can run gpedit.msc to raise the encryption method and cipher strength to 256bit if you want. (by default it's 128bit)

Well today is at 83%. It is a fresh drive connected to sata2 to the latest i7 laptop.

I find it strange it takes so long.

are you doing full disk encryption? that will take much longer time for sure.
