Hard disk
Full Disk Encryption uses software-based encryption for all standard drives (drives without self-encryption).
Full Disk Encryption uses hardware-based encryption for the following self-encrypting drives (SEDs):
  • Seagate OPAL and OPAL 2 drives
  • SanDisk self-encrypting (OPAL2) solid-state drives
  • Toshiba self-encrypting (OPAL2) solid-state drives (SATA and NVMe)
  • Intel self-encrypting (OPAL2) solid-state drives (SATA and NVMe)
Full Disk Encryption has the following limitations:
  • Full Disk Encryption does not support RAID and SCSI drives.
  • Full Disk Encryption does not support eDrive drives for Windows 8 or later environments.
Hard disk controllers
  • Software encryption: ATA, AHCI, or IRRT hard disk controller
  • Hardware encryption: AHCI hard disk controller
