* '''Whole disk''': Whether the whole disk can be encrypted, including the partition tables. Note that this does not imply that the encrypted disk can be booted off of; refer to "pre-boot authentication" in the features comparison table.
* '''Partition''': Whether individual [[disk partition]]s can be encrypted.
* '''Logical volume''': Whether individual [[logical volume]]s can be encrypted.
* '''File''': Whether the encrypted container can be stored in a file (usually implemented as encrypted [[loop device]]s).
* '''Swap space''': Whether the swap space (called a "pagefile" on Windows) can be encrypted individually/explicitly.
