Sure.

But do you really think that's necessarily a good idea? I know it isn't.


Can I ask? Why are you doing it in the first place? That's a respectfully serious question.


Its perfectly fine to do that. Doing what?


Ok then, keep doing it your way. I still disagree yet I'm not here to argue either.

A long read yet after your post above describing "unlocking the SSD" I believe your answers are found at:

The counterpart to freezing (thawing, so to speak) does not exist. It takes a hardware reset or power cycle to revert to the SEC1 state (Figure 1).



Can I assume you're using the switch on the back of the PSU or a power strip to kill all power, instead of Sleep or even simply shutting down from  the OS, but still leaving the PSU feed the MB?


That's not necessary. To "Unfreeze" an SSD you simply need to pull out the power cable out of the SSD and plug it back in again.


Same thing, is it not? Pulling or disconnecting from?

When ATA Security is enabled on an SSD or HDD and you are using a motherboard that supports it, upon startup you will be met by a prompt from BIOS to input a user password to unlock the "locked" drive. With the Asrock motherboards, if you enter the incorrect user password five times a new prompt will show up asking for a master password. If you incorrectly enter the Master password five times you will get a message saying the SSD/HDD is locked.
