Hello,
I'd like to know if Asus plans to udpate X99 BIOSes providing full support of Microsoft eDrive technology. This to allow enabling BitLocker on a Samsung 960 EVO/PRO set as boot drive.
Apparently Samsung support says motherboards need a BIOS update to support eDrive (see: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/memoryandstorage/thread-id/1...)
"After investigating the HW encryption problems from a compatibility point of view, we found this issue can be only be fixed with a BIOS update by the motherboard manufacturers.
Through technical collaboration with one of the major BIOS chipset companies, we have verified that a new BIOS update of the motherboard BIOS works well with the H/W encryption function in our SSD drives. We will continue to verify the solution with the other BIOS chipset companies.
We expect that the motherboard manufacturers will publicize the information of their BIOS updates for a solution."
Thanks.
