Self Encrypting Drives

[dmoore44]

Good afternoon all,

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with Self Encrypting Solid State Drives? I just had a few delivered to me for testing purposes, but there is surprisingly little documentation on how to get them to work.

A link to the drives I have is here:

http://www.micron.com//products/solid_state_storage/client_ssd/sed_encryption.html

I've been browsing the Micron site, the Trusted Computing Group, and others for info... but have come up short handed so far.

In what aspect can you not get them to work? Not seen by BIOS/motherboard? Not encrypting?

The drives are recognized by the BIOS just fine - I can install an OS and otherwise press them in to service.

I was just wondering how I go about enabling encryption.

Found mention of EMBASSY software in this Tom's Hardware link:

For systems containing self-encrypting hard drives, the EMBASSY Security Center includes the Trusted Drive Manager to activate and manage the drive’s hardware-based full disk encryption.

I find it odd the supplier can't tell you ...
