Hi there, I've sent a request off to Asrock but nothing back so far so I thought I would try the forum.

I want to encrypt our PC's fully but in a simple way and with minimal performance impact.

We leverage Ubuntu but I can't see if Asrock motherboards/bios support the use of Self Encrypting Drives with the associated Authentication Key (AK).

If anyone has any insights please let me know. We use a number of difference boards and I want to ensure I order new ones that can do this?

E.g. Z390 Phantom Gaming 9

Thanks

Hass
