I removed this content because it conflicts with my direct experience and it is not sourced. If someone can find a source then we should reconsider it and I can examine why I do not see this in my system.
{{quote|FDE is only safe when the computer is off or hibernated. When the computer is stolen while it is turned on or suspended, a restart which boots from a [[Universal Serial Bus|USB]] stick will reveal the data without need for the password. The problem is that these so called warm reboots will not prompt for the HD password, nor the power-on-password for that matter. This is as a security risk. In contrast, software-based encryption will prompt for the password on a warm reboot.}}
