Hi - I've just got a Samsung 850 Pro and will be installing Win 8.1 Pro on it.
I'd like to use the hardware encryption on the SSD drive but now I've looked into it I'm not sure if/how I can.
Motherboard is a few years old now (ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO), and I can't see a HDD in BIOS (just supervisor and user), and don't think it is UEFI compatible either, or TPM compatible!
Samsung suggested bitlocker but I assume the lack of UEFI means bitlocker is no good for me - or would it mean the encryption would be software (which I'm not keen on as it will affect performance)?
Basically, is there anyway I could get hardware encryption working with a fresh install of Win 8.1
Thanks.
