    Hi, just wondering if the m11xR3 or any of the m11x's have the so called ATA Security password feature built-in? How do you check for this? I checked in the Bios security tab and only see the option to setup a 'supervisor' password but nothing that says ATA.

    The reason I ask is that some SSD's like the Intel 320 has built-in encryption, but you can only utilize this feature if your system can set ATA passwords....

    I know that the m11x does not have the TPM chip...but hoping that it has the ATA security password feature...If not, oh well.
