I like using OPAL on my low powered laptop (8th gen i3), since Bitlocker eats some of that prescious CPU. Testing showed the impact of BL to be about 20% worse

I like using OPAL on my low powered laptop (8th gen i3), since Bitlocker eats some of that prescious CPU. Testing showed the impact of BL to be about 20% worse for the write speed and somewhere around a few percent read.
Not earth shattering, but for SATA3 era SSDs, it's not nothing either. The old 850 EVOs work well, and they're quality disks IME.
