Understanding Opal Lock Encryption, Recovery, and Setup
Opal Lock offers robust encryption and security for self-encrypting drives (SEDs), ensuring data protection across a wide range of compatible devices. To help you get started, we’ve broken down some common questions into an easy-to-understand guide. Opal Lock is compatible with TCG drives, which are designed to meet industry security standards. If you’re unsure whether your drive qualifies, you can identify a TCG drive by looking for the PSID (Physical Security Identifier) on the drive’s label. It’s important to note that while Opal Lock supports the Opal version of TCG drives, other versions may not offer full feature compatibility. Setting up Opal Lock requires the creation of a Recovery USB.
