Good SSD with hardware encryption?

SSD is good.

Motherboard, don't know for sure but in general all a motherboard needs to support the encryption on the m500 is an option for hard drive password I believe.
 
You would THINK that...but oddly enough I dont "think" its a common feature on consumer grade motherboards.
 
Short of finding someone on here that can tell you from experience if it has it or not, I would call or email gigabyte and ask them. Or go to their website and download the manual for that particular board and look through it and see if its mentioned.
 
Crucial M500 supports TCG Opal 2.0 and IEEE-1667, so you can use Windows 8's eDrive function (or 3rd party software if you're not running W8). That's more secure than setting an ATA password anyway.

Doesn't this require a TPM to use the BitLocker? (or alternatively a USB stick). Can you recommend some basic micro ATX boards that have a TPM module so I don't have to use the USB stick method?

Requirements: 1150 board. TPM module. Dual monitor support with the integrated video. UEFI BIOS.
