e-Drive Encryption
What is e-Drive, and how do I use it?
eDrive (available for 840 EVO , 850 PRO, 850 EVO):
eDrive linked with BitLocker software is a technology to improve the security performance of BitLocker, which is provided by the Microsoft Windows operating system. BitLocker uses software-handled encryption, but when it is linked with a storage device that supports eDrive, it can perform hardware-based encryption, thereby improving both security and performance while minimizing CPU usage. After installing an operating system on a storage device that supports eDrive, run BitLocker, which will automatically link the two.
How to set up e-DRIVE?
- You can convert e-Drive to “Ready to enable” by using Magician. It will then be enabled automatically when a clean installation of an OS that supports eDrive is performed.
- If e-Drive is Enabled, you cannot use Magician to manully change the status to Disabled or Ready to enable.
For more details, please contact customer service or your OS provider (Microsoft).
