Sounds like there are some very experienced people giving advice, so I have a question for you.

If your computer is protected with a 9 character strong password to access it, does that provide enough security to prevent a thief from even getting to your data if the computer is stolen?
Although a good password helps, it is better to do the encryption, if your operating system offers that feature in it's privacy settings.
