I have a Samsung 840 EVO SSD that has built-in hardware encryption. Will there be any issue creating an image of this SSD with Macrium? I want to be sure I'll be able to restore from the Macrium image.

Thanks

Perfect, exactly what I needed to know. I'm using mode 2 so I should be good.

Thanks!

Hi gator,

It depends on the mode of encryption.

1) Not encrypted. The device will operate as a normal disk. Full Reflect support as per a standard disk.
2) Encrypted with BIOS support / password prompt. The encryption is completely transparent. Fully supported by Reflect, as per a standard disk.
3) Encrypted using software pre-boot authentication environment (i.e., with a software-based full disk encryption component). It depends on how this is implemented as to whether Macrium supports this configuration; we have not tested it so cannot guarantee support.

Yes, encryption is enabled on mine (required because of the work I do). I suppose I could decrypt before imaging but I'd rather not...

Have you actually encrypted the SSD. I have an Samsung 840 Pro & I have not encrypted it & it works perfectly with the Macrium image back up.
So if you have not encrypted it you should have no problems.
