I've read that some people think that because the math behind AES is so
simple that there are inherent weaknesses. You don't know if quantum
computing will take off. Who knows what the future holds for computing.
Simply saying "hey here is my encrypted harddrive with financial
secrets" is not a wager I'd ever be willing to make. Plus sidechannel
attacks are getting more and more interesting every day.
Strong crypto is a security layer. Security is only layers and is not
and can not be considered definitive. Nothing is definitive other than
total destruction.
The disks *really* need to be wiped (several times) before your
respective A's are covered.
Thanks,
Mark

God help us if AES 256 gets cracked easily in 15 years. We'll have to start beating stones and sticks together because we'll be thrown into the stone age with all the havoc that will do to things such as eCommerce and lots of other areas of business.
