I am trying to install a Seagate Constellation.2 self-encrypting drive with Windows 8 for use with Bitlocker. Articles that I've read imply that Bitlocker will recognise the SED.
There's no problem with the installation but there is no indication that Bitlocker sees it as anything other than a normal drive.
If I try to encrypt the full drive with Bitlocker, it's obvious, from the time it takes, that it is software encrypting it.
I have read the article about 'encrypted hard drives' and note that it says that SEDs are not the same thing. Frankly, I don't understand this and neither do other people on the web who have written saying that SEDs are now supported by Bitlocker.
Can you help with this please?
Thanks
