So, I have just received an Intel 320 series SSD. They state that once I set my ATA passsword (through the BIOS), that encryption will then be active. I see no sign of this noted in the SSD Toolkit from intel, so I'm just trying to double check that it's actually active... Can anyone confirm through their experience or another source they know about?
P.S. I am not super impressed with this encryption methodology so far. For example, my ATA password can only be 8 characters - when my usual drive encryption password with my old method (True Crypt) was 25...
Thanks all.
