synced drives how to with bitlocker

Thread needs solution

I have TIH 2014 Premium

I have two sata HDD's that are synced. If I use bitlocker on one of the drives does the other sata HDD encrypt at the same time?

Nope, it wouldn't. The data will be synched in the clear on the non-bitlocker drive.

Thank you for the response. I guess if that doesn't work then I'll have to try encrypting one drive (unsynced), delete the files on the second drive, encrypt the blank drive with the same key then re-sync the second drive. Sound feasible?
Again thanks for the reply,

You don't need to delete the files on the disk you want to encrypt. BitLocker can be applied to a disk with data. It takes longer for BitLocker to finish setting up the disk with a lot of content on it, but it might be faster than deleting, encrypting and recopying all content.

Thanks again. The two sata HDD are 3TB in size and have about 400 Gb left. Looks like it's going to take awhile. I appreciated the help.
