What is even the point of encrypted drives over just using filesystem encryption managed by the OS? I'm guessing some minor portability benefit across OSs but is this really worth trusting the OEM over?
Maybe I might understand if this was some kind of server SSD but even then im not sure it would make sense.
In fact Microsoft's own BitLocker dropped reliance on hardware encryption to workaround this same problem. And now that the performance impact is minimal it makes sense to default to software.
