Samsung NVMe™ SSDs provide internal hardware encryption of all data stored on the SSD, including the operating system. Data is decrypted through a pre-boot authentication process.
Because all user data is encrypted, private information is protected against loss or theft.
Encryption is done by hardware, which provides a safer environment without sacrificing performance.
The encryption methods provided by each Samsung NVMe™ SSD are: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard, Class0 SED) TCG/OPAL, and eDrive
Please note that you cannot use more than one encryption method simultaneously.
