Does Intel 730 SSD series supports encryption (AES-256)

[anaps]

Hello,

I was wandering about the Intel 730 SSD encryption functionality.

In this document http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/solid-state-drives/ssd-730-series-spec.html 730 Series Specification any kind of encryption support is not mentioned, although in other product series e.g Intel ssd 520 that information is clearly http://download.intel.com/newsroom/kits/ssd/pdfs/intel_ssd_520_product_spec_325968.pdf written http://download.intel.com/newsroom/kits/ssd/pdfs/intel_ssd_520_product_spec_325968.pdf

However, from this page we can understand that Hardware encryption is supported http://ark.intel.com/de/products/81038/Intel-SSD-730-Series-240GB-2_5in-SATA-6Gbs-20nm-MLC ARK | Intel® SSD 730 Series (240GB, 2.5in SATA 6Gb/s, 20nm, MLC)

Thanks in advance.

AES encryption by itself is not good enough these days, I just bought this drive and I want to use DiskCryptor to encrypt is with AES-Twofish-Serpent algorithm combination, does anyone forsee any issues? All drives in my system will use this encryption. Thanks

Hello Sixjac,

We would not expect any conflicts between the AES encryption in the Intel® Solid-State Drive 730 Series, and other algorithms used by 3rd party encryption software. However, Intel does not test 3rd party software on the drives, so we strongly advise you to check with the Diskcryptor team if there are any special requirements for the software to work with SSDs.
