Samsung (currently 960 Pro) is still the king a believe. The only drawback I have found is that Samsung does not support the specifications required for Bitlocker to offload the encryption to the drive.
- mastax 9y ago> Samsung does not support the specifications required for Bitlocker to offload the encryption No, but you need to use Samsung Magician (or whatever they call it) to enable it.
- chrisper 9y agoIs this only for the pro version?
- jpalomaki 9y agoI wonder if this only applies to the NVMe models (like 950 and 960 Pro)? Edit: probably not. The 850 Evo spec specifically mentions support for IEEE1668 (Encrypted drive)[1] (probably a typo there, should be IEEE1667). 950 Pro specs say: "EncryptionTCG Opal Family Spec and eDrive(IEEE1667) to be supported by FW update" [2]. Not 100% sure, but I think this update never arrived for some reason. 960 Pro specs don't mention anything [3] [1] http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/850evo.html http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/co...
