Enable class 0 in MSI Tomahawk B350

[johnjohnjay]

I have a MSI Tomahawk B350. How do I enable class 0 security (disk password) in the BIOS for the 840 and 960 EVO? I couldn't find that option anywhere, only admin/user password.

Thanks in advance.

I don't own the B350, and i don't use disk encryption at home, so this is less a good tip, than more a curious question:
Why don't you use samsung-tools for disk encryption?

Because class 0 should be easy to enable (since data is already encrypted anyway) and wouldn't require a full reinstall of my system.

That is a valid answer i can relate to.
Motivated, I read all i could find about full disk encryption (starting from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware-based_full_disk_encryption).
Unfortunately, it *seems* to me, you need a self-encrypting disk (like your samsung), and with the help of the Motherboard security setting, you can set the required password.
I could not find many chipsets (one from intel being the exception, which longs has been abandoned) where you would need just the Motherboard to enable a full disk encryption.
As you might guess, i'm not exactly an expert on this, so forgive me for retreating silently without a useful answer.
