Description

There are no details on what type of self encrypted drives are supported and can be managed by Intel® VROC.

Resolution

Intel® VROC 7.5 introduces Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) key management support. The implemented key management is only in the UEFI environment but allows secure booting with SED drives into all Intel® VROC operating system environments.

The SED management is supported only for NVMe* drives that use Opal* specification. It is important to keep in mind that SED is a feature of the drive, and what Intel® VROC provides is just the SED key management, meaning that Intel® VROC does not perform the encryption.
