Full Disk Encryption uses software-based encryption for all standard drives (drives without self-encryption). Software encryption requires ATA, AHCI, or IRRT hard disk controller.
Full Disk Encryption uses hardware-based encryption for the following self-encrypting drives (SEDs); Hardware encryption requires AHCI hard disk controller:
- Seagate DriveTrust drives
- Seagate OPAL and OPAL 2 drives
- SanDisk self-encrypting solid-state drives
Full Disk Encryption has the following limitations:
- Full Disk Encryption does not support endpoints with multiple hard disks.
- Full Disk Encryption does not support RAID and SCSI drives.
- Full Disk Encryption does not support eDrive drives for Windows 8 or later environments.
- Full Disk Encryption does not support GUID Partition Table (GPT) drives.
