Dear fellow members,

Hope you are doing well and healthy in covid climate.


I believe this question is about motherboard. Does HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 motherboard support Self-Encrypting Hard Drive?


I am looking to install this Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC550 16TB SATA Self-Encrypting Hard Drive



Question is, does Microserver Gen 8 support Self-Encrypting Harddisk?



Thanks, stay safe.

My understanding is it's a drive based option, the controller is irrelevant - obviously it needs to support the drive type/size/format though.

I thought the MB's BIOS must have a feature to allow me to key in the HDD password??
