FileVault taking a full day to encrypt?


i put new 1tb drive in macbook pro , after running software update turned on filevault. has been encrypting 2 hours , states has 16 hours remaining. seems wrong me. because of size of new drive? using less 20 gb of 1 tb right now. thought turning filevault on before added data encryption quicker...
 

i believe filevault 2 encrypts entire volume. create encrypted disk image on entire hard drive , depending on write speed take pretty long time.
