Various Linux distros support LUKS right from the out of the box installation process. Provides data security using strong encryption algorithms. I appreciate the ability to manage multiple user keys, which adds an extra layer of security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For distros like Arch linux where one have to use command line interface, using LUKS in first go becomes painful experience. Decryption takes some cpu and recommended only for SSDs, older drives becomes more sluggish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the hard disk encryption compatible with different Linux distributions, key generated by the Kernel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Problems when losing hard disk partition, information is lost, missing master key in external token. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Most disk encryption software implements different and incompatible, undocumented formats. LUKS specifies a platform-independent standard on-disk format for use in various tools. This not only facilitates compatibility and interoperability among different programs, but also assures that they all implement password management in a secure and documented manner.

Disadvantage — if the master key is not a trusted key, the encrypted key is only as secure as the user key used to encrypt it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
