Windows 10: How to check if your computer supports hardware bitlocker encryption

In powershell, how can I determine if the computer support's bitlocker hardware encryption?I want our install powershell script to auto enable bitlocker. I'd love to default to hardware and fallback to aes.So far, I can only find commands to see which method your hard drive was encrypted with. Not which encryptions are available.Thanks!

SSD to support hardware based full disk encryption via BitLocker?

Hi everyone:

I'm trying to build a new desktop PC and I'm wondering if you can
suggest which SSD (and motherboard) do I need to purchase to have it
support hardware based full disk encryption with Windows 10 via
BitLocker?

I'm currently settling on Intel Core i9-7900X Skylake-X 10-Core 3.3
GHz CPU that has to go into the Intel X299 Chipset motherboard.

So I was checking, for instance "Samsung 970 PRO 512GB - NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 SSD".

But will it support hardware based full disk encryption? And if no, which one will? I'm looking for faster M.2 drives.
