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."
