ok so I was in the market for a new hard drive and ran across a term Seagate secure did a search and well I wouldn't know where to start but wanted to learn more. at a glance I suppose its self explanatory but anyways this TPM do I need to buy one? as I opened bitlocker it said something like
"administrator has to set allow bitlocker without a compatible TPM option in the require additional authentication at startup policy for os volumes"
no idea what this really refers to. I have a Samsung 960 evo, not sure if it supports bitlocker or not I did see a list of 3 drives from Seagate that are sed's am wondering do I need to buy a TPM module and that runs with any SED? or is this something an sed comes with.
I did see where I could buy a TPM and was wondering if I could buy any drive an add this tpm to the computer then whats to stop someone from taking the TPM and SED out and putting it into another system to write either viruses or backdoors onto the drive then replacing it back into the system.
I will be buying another drive and from Seagate I found ST3000DM002 ST3000DM004 are the only models that support SED for desktop but was wondering if I could get any old drive like ssay a SShd firecuda or ST2000DM006 could either of those be used with a TPM device listed below?

in it's description it say
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a security device on the system board that will hold computer-generated keys for encryption
It is a hardware-based solution that helps to avoid attacks by hackers looking to capture passwords and encryption keys
now will that do anything for someone who has physical access to the drive to keep someone from adding files to a system? or creating a backdoor by adding files. ask away as I really want to understand how to use this stuff if only basic
