    Hello.

    OS Build: 19042.572 (20H2)
    Tried both Samsung's and Microsoft's NVMe Drivers

    I am the owner of Samsung 970 Evo 250GB SSD, which is set to "Ready to enable" encryption state inside Samsung Magician software, therefore, while I'm trying to enable BitLocker (I've already change group policy to force hardware encryption) it results in the following error:

    Bitlocker Drive Encryption(Not Responding) at 84.5%

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    We understand your concern, as you are trying to encrypt the complete hard drive with BitLocker Drive Encryption and now it’s not responding as well.



    We would suggest you to refer this
    BitLocker: Use BitLocker Drive Encryption Tools to manage BitLocker     article and check manage-bde section, if that helps to make the changes.



    However, for further queries we would suggest you to post your query in

    TechNet     forums, where we have experts and support professionals who are well equipped with the knowledge on BitLocker to assist you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps.

    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.
