T440 SSD Samsung mz7te256hmhp-000L7 disk encryption

Does anyone knoiw hou to confirm that that my lenovo t440 with a Samsung ssd PM851 (mz7te256hmhp-000L7)  support hardware based full disk encryption.I cant find anything in the BIOS about disk encryption, only a disk password option.How can a i be sure that the encryption is supported and if setting the disk password in the BIOS in enough?

I have finally gotten an answer from Samsung regarding encryption.  Sounds like hardware FDE is only supported on the OEM version, not on the consumer version:
My Question:
Does the SSD 830 (Notebook 256G version: MZ-7PC256N) support Full Disk Encryption (FDE) with a password through the BIOS? I read on the web that your enterprise version of this product does support FDE, but it's not clear whether or not that is also supported on the consumer version.
Their Response:
Dear Customer...The retail market 830 series SSD does not natively support FDE. Only OEM version of the unit have the encryption placed. Samsung recommends the use of programs to encrypt the data on the drive... Thank You for choosing Samsung.

  • X220 SSD Drive w/Full Disk Encryption (FDE), Intel 320 or others

    Does anyone have experience or recommendations regarding installing an SSD with Full Disk Encryption for the X220?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have a 300GB Intel 320 which I installed it myself (cloned the factory install using Acronis). No mSATA drive.
    Hope this helps!
    I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

  • X220 with Samsung SSD 830: Success? Full Disk Encryption (FDE)?

    1. Have any of you tried installing a Samsung SSD 830 Series drive in the X220, and if so can you recommend or dis-recommend?
    2. Can anyone definitively verify whether or not the SSD 830 drives support full disk encryption?  I see conflicting information about that on the internet...
    Thank you.

  • X220 with Windows 7 (64 bit) Pro using SSD Samsung 840 (500G) drive

    I am using a Thinkpad X220 (4291) laptop with 8 gigs of RAM.  I recently switched my HDD for an SSD (Samsung 840 which is 500G).  I have been following the posts and have set the BIOS accordingly as well as updated firmware for the drive.  I use Crystal Disk Mark for measuring the read/write of the drive and am not getting the speeds I should.  I currently get:

    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

    I have an X220 with W8 Pro and Samsung 840 Pro.  Getting 528 read and 474 sequential write.   Did you install the Samsung Magician software and update the firmware on the SSD? 
    Samsung Magician will also provide a speedtest you can check against crystal disk mark.
    Lots of sites for optimizing SSD settings but unless it is a firmware issue I don't know why you would get such slower speeds.

  • Need 256 Bit AES Full Disk Encryption for a Mac.  The other discussions regarding this issue are very old.  Does anyone have any current advice regarding encryption software?

    Does anyone have any advice regarding 256 bit full disk encryption software for Macs?  The other discussions on the topic are years old, so I would like some current input.  Thanks for your help in advance.

    Depending on your Mac, you might not want to upgrade to OS X 10.7 or 10.8 as it will not run the PowerPC based software your currently using costing a bundle to replace it all, also they will slow down your machine if it's not a more recent issue. You don't want to upgrade OS X without AppleCare defending your possibly bricked logicboard that's for sure.
    Filevault encrypts the boot drive, however in doing so makes it near impossible to fix if you have a software issue and need to recover files directly or by using specialty software. Also it robs the machine of performance even more than the Lions do. So you will really need a SSD to work best with 10.7/10.8 and Filevault, then it has to be freshly installed. Filevault needs 50% free space on the boot drive, then it's going to write to the slower 50% half of the hard drive where performance is terrible compared to the first 50%.
    Also Filevault is cracked under certain conditions, and if someone gets their hands on the machine (like the law) and knows what they are doing.
    If you take your Filevaulted machine to Apple to fix, they are going to require the password to fix the machine obviously.
    Software based encryption is vulnerable, you might want to instead place your sensitive data on external self-encrypting hardware that doesn't rely upon software or computer hacks/bypasses (ike freezing the RAM) to get to it.
    http://www.datalocker.com/products/datalocker-dl3.html
    Iron Keys for portable USB self encryption, both work with any computer, so your not locked into one platform.
    With the senstive data off the computer and on a external device, there is the option of removing, hiding and securing the device. If used with a computer that's never connected to the Internet, it's safe from snoopers, except from a survelliance van parked outside your door.

    Dear all!
    Thanks for your advices!
    What I think about is (I already have Mavericks installed, having a full backup with time machine):
    1. putting the ssd in an external box and format it  as 1 Partition, Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and GUID Partition Table
    2. change the disk by putting then the "naked" ssd into the hard-disk bay of the mac
    3. restore the whole system by restoring from time machine...
    Btw. do you have other products, suggestions to buy instead of the a.m. ones?
    Is Apple having original, supported replacements?
    Thanks in advance

  • Ssd samsung 840 evo

    Hi (sorry for my english, I'm a french customer)
    I have replace my superdrive (dvd) by a ssd samsung 840 evo (MZ-7TE500)
    When I run the mac, the ssd doesn't appear in the "finder".
    In the Disk utility, the ssd appear but I can't do nothing.
    An error message appear when I try to make a partition:
    Partition failed with the error:
    Wiping volume data to prevent future accidental probing failed.
    I do not know what to do!
    the problem just might be the sata cable?
    it is perhaps not quite electrically powered?
    If I switch the HDD and SSD at boot mac, he going to embark on the HDD or SSD?
    if it does not work and I presents the HDD in place, it will work there as before?
    thank you very much for your help.

    François,
    do you have a SATA-to-USB or SATA-to-FireWire adapter, to allow you to access your SSD externally? If so, are you able to format it externally without problems?
    Note that earlier versions of the Samsung 840 EVO firmware were known to be problematic on some Macs. You can download its latest firmware (for burning onto a bootable DVD) from the Samsung firmware page.

    Hi ,
    I have an iMac (24-inch, Early 2008) with 2,8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB RAM. When Yosemite came out i've traded the iMac Superdrive with an SSD Samsung 840 Evo. I've installed OS X Yosemite on the SSD but my Mac keep crashing on boot and the third-part application doesn't work very well. I've tried reinstalling it, SMC reset, PRAM reset, Disk and Permissions repair and various clean installation but nothing changed. When I turn on my Mac on the apple logo appears the Kernel panic and restarts well. I tried to install the OS in the old HD and it work fine but is really slow. Help me please and sorry for my english

  • HP Protecttools - Disk Encryption - How do I recover a hardrive that no longer boots

    I have an HP Laptop that has the HP Protecttools Disk encryption enabled, but will not boot. I need to pull information off of the drive for the employee who owns the laptop and I am unable to becasue of the encryption. I know you can use the key that is generated during the encryption process to unencrypt the drive at the first login screen, however because the drive is not booting I do not get that screen. Is there any utility I can run from a CD/DVD to unencrypt the drive from a command line using the encryption key?

    Hello Charon.  I understand you need to decrypt a drive for a computer that cannot boot.
    What problem is causing the drive to be unable to boot?
    Which notebook are you working with?  Please use this document to locate the product number and use that to identify the notebook.
    Since HP Protect Tool is generally used in an Enterprise environment you may also want to post your question to HP's Business Boards.  Here is a direct link.
    I hope you have a great day!

  • Bit locker security issues (easy to crack) disk encryption?

    Bit locker security issues (easy to crack) disk encryption?
    Problem 1: When the PC run I think its too easy to get  malicious users (with usb pendrive) or spyware to get the encryption key (fast and easy)
    youtube.com/watch?v=0npTlOq6q_0
    Problem2:not resistant with bruteforce attacks
    youtube.com/watch?v=zvaJxnvbGic
    Problem 3: not resistant with boot hacking
    Im using DriveCrypt plus pack and searched security issues in bit locker.The bit locker allow you the bruteforce/dic attack easy.I think  It would be much safer 1. (I think the keys stored somewhere that is easily read) 2. Do not just be enough password
    need a password+file combination to decrypt the disk. DriveCrypt plus pack use a file+password combination if you know the password but you wont have the file you can not decrypt the disk (protect with bruteforce attack).On system boot protected bruteforce
    attak you can crash the (boot).If the boot system crash you can not decrypt the disk just the password you need the file+password combination plus to decrypt it. I am not a programmer but I see the BitLocker ( easy security catches to crack the disk encryption).Im
    tested DriveCrypt and I can not get the key that easy (Problem 1). I have not tested it in greater depth just trying to (catches to crack software encryption).

    Where is your question, sir?
    If the question were "is it easy to crack", the answer is "no". Your videos make use of several assumptions and ingredients and permissions that a normal attacker does not have.
    "Problem 3" is not clear, please describe what scenario you are talking about.

  • Cisco Agent Desktop / Supervisor Desktop Issue with Full Disk Encryption

    Has anyone had any issues related to running Cisco Agent Desktop or Cisco Supervisor Desktop on a machine running full disk encryption?  Our desktop team installed full disk encryption software from Check Point, and it seams to be causing some issues with call monitoring, screen pops via workflow and connectivity to the UCCX server.  It's not effecting every machine (that we know of), but the fix for us right now is to provide a desktop without the encryption software.  I'm just wondering if this is related to us, or if there is any supporting documentation out there? 
    Any help is apprecicated.

    CAD for IPCCX v4 does not support windows 7. See compatibility matrix:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_compatibility/matrix/crscomtx.pdf
    In my experience if you already have CAD installed and you upgrade the OS (without a fresh rebuild) CAD will work - but it is NOT supported. You should test this though.
    You will not be able to install the older version of CAD on windows 7, the installer will give you errors.

  • Hardware: SSD drives and scratch disks

    Hi,
    I am building a new system for Photoshop. Two quick questions:
    1. I note in Adobe's system reqs it says Photoshop cannot be installed on flash-based storage devices. Does this include SSDs? Is there a genuine problem here (i.e. if my application drive is an SSD the PS won't work)?
    2. I have not previously had a so-called "scratch" disk so I don't really know what it is or whether I need one, or more than one. What's the general advice here? - separate drive to the PS application drive? also separate to the Windows drive? How big? Will an SSD be a good choice for a scratch drive?
    Thanks in advance,
    Alastair

    G'day,
    In answer to your query SSDs work fine to install cs4 on bar the following I'm having.
    I've built a new system using ssds.and is working fine bar one problem
    Specs of the system is
    I7 920 cpu, Asus P6t se mb, 12gb ram, 128gb ssd, 64gb ssd, 4gb raid 1+0 array onboard, nvidia geforcegtx260. I use the 128gb ssd as the os and programs drive. The raid is the data drive. All works brilliantly except when I set the 64gb ssd as the scratch disk the following happens
    "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked.  Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file."
    I hit OK and get this error -
    "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file."
    Pressing ok then shuts the program and I need to reset cs4 prefernces and then it all works fine. OS is Win7 64 bit.
    Now I have just got to try and fix this problem Anyone got suggestions?
    Cheers
    Onslow
    Hmm, seems to have stopped doing this now after resetting the scratch to the ssd and then rebooting. All is now fine and wonderfully quick.

    Could you please clarify the following questions on disk encryption?
    Whenever  we enable/disable disk encryption, we are deleting all the cached data.
    1.           Why are we deleting all the DRE cache, when we enable/disable disk encryption? Instead we should encrypt/decrypt the data with the key that we got from CM.  If we delete all the DRE cache, then we will lose the compression that  we got from the DRE cache.
    2.           How can I verify that the files in the disk are encrypted, after disk encryption is enabled?

    Hi Thenna,
    The partitions we encrypt are some of the largest on the system.  We wouldn't have enough disk space to have two copies (encrypted & decrypted) of those paritions.
    For verification, you would have to remove the disk drives and mount them on another Linux-based system.  We don't provide a way to browse the cache contents.

    Zach

  • PGP Whole disk Encryption but for Windows Partition only ?

    Hi,
    Slightly unusual situation here. I want to use my MacBook Pro at work and home. OSX at home and XP at work. Now at work they have a strict policy of only allowing computers on the network with PGP Whole disk Encryption. I've looked into this and there doesn't appear to be a way of setting this up via bootcamp because PGP makes use of MBR which as far as I know bootcamp doesn't use and PGP themselves say bootcamp isn't supported.
    Looking around the web there are various articles about tripple/quad booting Mac systems not using bootcamp but things such as Grub or reFIT. I'm wondering if there is a way of using this boot technique but using the partition option when installing PGP for windows and only setting it up on the defined windows partition.
    Has anybody tried this or have alternatives ?
    Thanks in advance
    Steve

    Hi Steve:
    Windows has a boot manager built in. Windows can be installed on a logical NTFS partition, the boot
    manager can sit on a tiny fat or fat32 primary partition. I have used this arrangement on my PC's
    many times. I have not tried it on a Mac, but it should work. You will need to have some working
    knowledge of partitioning to pull it off.
    I don't know how PGP designed their software, but it should support this arrangement, unless they
    have some cheesy engineering design built into their software that would prevent it from working.
    The windows boot manager has been with NT from the beginning. It is not rocket science, NTLDR
    sits in the usual spot reserved for system boot files, the boot ini file tells NTLDR what partition
    the /windows/system32/ntoskrnl.exe is on and NTLDR passes the ball to ntoskrnl and away
    she goes if everything is Kosher. Windows boot manager can boot other OS's as well.
    Be aware though that windows may assign a drive letter to the windows installation other than
    "c" (usually "d" of "f". That doesn't keep anything from working though.
