Strong security based in hardware: Encryption is always "on" and the keys for encryption never leave the hard drive.Better performance: Encryption hardware, integrated into the drive controller, allows the drive to operate at full data rate with no performance degradation.You can install Windows to encrypted hard drives without additional modification, beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.

Because Encrypted hard drives encrypt data quickly, enterprise devices can expand BitLocker deployment with minimal impact on productivity.Įncrypted hard drives are a new class of hard drives that are self-encrypting at a hardware level and allow for full disk hardware encryption. Encrypted hard drive uses the rapid encryption that is provided by BitLocker drive encryption to enhance data security and management.īy offloading the cryptographic operations to hardware, Encrypted hard drives increase BitLocker performance and reduce CPU usage and power consumption.
