What desktop motherboard supports ATA password ?

[idata]

Hi,

I'm looking for list of Intel (and possible other manufacturers - Intel based) desktop motherboards which supports ATA password - to be used with Intel SSD full drive encryption. Thanks!

You probably have found the answer, but here is one I gave in a few other threads:

The following Intel® Desktop Boards support hard disk drive (HDD) passwords, but afaik, they only support weak passwords (8 chars), so you should not rely on this feature to protect your data.

Intel® 7 Series Chipset Family Boards 

• DZ77SL-50K
• DZ77RE-75K
• DZ77GAL-70K
• DZ77GA-70K
• DZ77BH-55K
• DZ75ML-45K
• DX79TO
• DX79SR
• DX79SI
• DQ77MK
• DQ77KB
• DQ77CP
• DH77KC
• DH77EB
• DH77DF
• DB75EN

From Intel's motherboard documentation:

"Password can be 2-8 alphanumeric characters in length."
