Hello,
I am trying to set up hardware level encryption using ESET Full Encryption however I did not find a lot of documentation about the process.
ESET FDE software based encryption works however the performance impact is pretty significant so we would like to try hardware based encryption on our NVMe SSDs.
We have multiple machines using NVMe drives with specified support for OPAL / SED from multiple vendors, however these machines are shown as "hardware encryption not supported" in ESET PROTECT.
Is there a list of supported harware ? Is there a process requiered to use hardware encryption else than enabling the correct option in the encryption policy ? Using hardware encryption with bitlocker requires specific steps such as a Windows reinstall, specific BIOS settings, a GPO to allow it in Windows, sometimes an activation in the SSD manufacturer's software etc. ; with ESET FDE I can't find any documentation describing the required steps to enable it and encryption falls back to software mode or simply does not starts if OPAL is set as mandatory.
Can you help us please ?
Thank-you,
Regards
