I googled. But all results lead to "theory" of self encrypting drives.

I want to buy "Self encrypting" (hardware base/built-in) HDD/SSD for my personal laptop to protect my personal and most valuable data.

Please suggest a website or retailer where I can buy the same.

Thank you.

If you'll use only Windows OS, you can use BitLocker. You caan also use TMP if available on your laptop for added security.

Thanks for reply but this is not what I expected.

these drives are not usually available at major online sites but i found some links(these drives use a standard called OPAL):
*shop.lenovo.com/us/en/itemdetails/0A65620/460/89555ADB1CE946DA80E0E5D6FE77B164
*shopap.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/cont...opping|1000001&&CA_6C15C=1715199431#techspecs

Thank you whitestar_999 for valuable information.
I need to check whether they can be ordered from India or not.

One more question, I will use this SED on general laptop (not lenovo). Will it still be self encrypting?
How can I be sure for same?
