Hello @Kieran_Levin, so good to see someone from Framework here!
I purchased the Samsung 990 Pro instead of the WD SN850X specifically for Bitlocker hardware encryption. I did quite some research and from what I understand Bitlocker requires SEDs to respect the IEEE1667 standard, also known as eDrive.
Found online:
“TCG Opal is another security storage specification and it is not enough for Bitlocker hardware encryption.”
However, the Samsung 990 Pro datasheet is totaly clear about supporting both Opal and IEEE1667. (source of the Datasheet )
“AES 256-bit Full Disk Encryption, TCG/Opal V2.0, Encrypted Drive (IEEE1667)”
So I don’t understand what you mean by:
