Yes, but in practice, this encryption isn't competently implemented. Hence why MS stopped supporting hardware-accelerated BitLocker.

They still support it, it’s just not the default any longer for drives that report the capability.

Thanks for the correction - I expect that support is just a temporary state of affairs though. I used hardware accelerated BitLocker for a few years, and had my systems break multiple times due to BitLocker-related regressions when MS pushed updates. I can't imagine it's going to get more attention now that's it's never enabled by default.
