Where:
While "256-bit" sounds twice as secure, is effectively unbreakable by any current or foreseeable classical computing power. Most security experts agree that for general-purpose disk encryption, the difference between 128 and 256 is negligible compared to other risks like weak passwords or physical access.
Unlike standard AES modes (like CBC or CTR), XTS uses a (usually derived from the sector number or logical block address on a disk).
