Hardware encryption on P4510 series drives?

Hello,

I'm evaluating the Intel P4510 series drives for an application where we'll need encryption on Linux. I've ordered in a few 2TB drives, and was planning to kick the tires on hardware encryption to determine impacts to drive performance. The software implementations for encryption like LUKS2 will be too slow for my application.

Could you please confirm that the P4510 series support TCG Opal 2.0, as indicated on the product brief? The brief calls out TCG Opal 2.0, but has a footnote saying that all management features are not implemented, and alludes to them possibly being implemented after product launch. This marketing material is misleading at best.

If Opal 2.0 is not supported, what hardware encryption is supported, and could you please point me to instructions for setting it up? Thank you.

Regards,

Mike
