"The E12 controller also supports AES-256, TCG Opal and TCG Pyrite encryption (for secure file access)"
Can we get a short guide to encryption for home users? I have a desktop computer with all my financial data on it (e.g. Social Security, bank accounts), and I don't want a robber who breaks into my house and steals my computer to have access.
So what are my options? Windows 10 Pro has BitLocker, but most drives aren't eDrive. So that's software encryption, and it's slower.
I can use a boot HDD password, but I'm not sure how secure that is. Does TCG interface with the boot ATA security? What about for an NVMe drive? Does that use ATA security?
I know there's third party software, like WinMagic. But that's more money and complexity.
Can we get a guide for regular folks who want reasonable security at a reasonable price?
