Do I really need an encrypting SSD, such as 320 series, or would an ATA pwd on non-encrypting SSD, such as 510 series, suffice?

Is the non-encrypting SSD security more easily hackable/bypassable than the encrypting SSD, disregarding the possiblity of removal of memory modules?</P><P></P><P>Thank you in advance!</P> Tue, 03 Jan 2012 23:34:57 GMT idata 2012-01-03T23:34:57Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/encrypting-vs-non-encrypting-ssd-with-ata-password/m-p/16608#M10250 <P>Hi,</P><P>I would like to use an SSD that is inaccessible if lost or stolen.
