The requirements are: * Windows versions in UEFI mode. See the [Release Notes for your FDE version](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?version=&os=Windows&productTab=documents&product=377&eventSubmit_doShowproductpage=) for an exact list of supported Windows versions. * UEFI firmware that implements the UEFI ATA Pass-through protocol or the UEFI Security Command Protocol * TCG Opal compliant drives version 1.0 or 2.0 * SATA controller * NVMe controller starting with version E80.81 This means that any system meeting the requirements and equipped with a TCG Opal compliant drive is supported. Check Point has tested the SED support with the drives listed in the below table. Note that this list is not an exhaustive list of supported drives. The list contains drives explicitly tested by Check Point and known to satisfy the above requirements for a Self Encrypting Drive. |------------------------|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | **Drive Manufacturer** | **Model Name** | **Models Detail** | | SanDisk | X400 | SD8TB8U-256G-1001 SD8TB8U-512G-1001 SD8TB8U-256G-1006 SD8TB8U-512G-1006 SD8TB8U-256G-1122 SD8TB8U-512G-1122 SD8TB8U-1T00-1122 SD8TN8U-256G-1006 (M.2) SD8TN8U-512G-1006 (M.2) | | SanDisk | X300s | 256GB | | Intel | SSD 535 Series | 360GB | | Intel | SSD Pro 2500 | 180GB | | Samsung | SM871 | 128GB, 256GB, 512GB (2,5" and M.2) | | Samsung | 850 EVO | 120GB | | Samsung | PM871b | 128GB, 256GB, 512GB | | Samsung | 960 EVO | 250GB (NVMe) | | Samsung | MZVLB512 | 512GB (NVMe) | | Samsung | MZNLN256HAJQ-000H7 | 256GB (M.2) | | Samsung | MZNLN512HAJQ-000H7 | 512GB (M.2) | | Samsung | PM981a | MZVLB2T0HALB-000H7 | | Samsung | PM9A1 | MZVL2256HCHQ-00BH7 (NVMe) MZVL21T0HCLR-00BH7 (NVMe) MZVL22T0HBLB-00BH7 (NVMe) | | Samsung | PM9A1a | MZVL2512HDJD-00BH7 MZVL21T0HDLU-00BH7 | | Samsung | MZ-VL8256D | PM9C1b | | Samsung | MZ-VLC4T00 | MZVLC4T0HBL1-00BH7 | | Samsung | PM9C1b | MZ9L8512HFLU-00BH7 | | Western Digital | PC SN720 | SDAQNTW-256G-1006(NVMe) SDAQNTW-512G-1006(NVMe) SDAQNTW-256G-1001(NVMe) SDAQNTW-512G-1001(NVMe) SDAQNTW-1T00-1001(NVMe) SDAQNTX-2T00-1001(NVMe) | | Western Digital | PC SA530 | SDATN8Y-256G SDATN8Y-512G SDATN8Y-1T00 SDATN8Y-256G-1001 SDATN8Y-512G-1001 SDATN8Y-1T00-1001 SDATN8Y-256G-1006 SDATN8Y-512G-1006 SDATN8Y-1T00-1006 SDATB8Y-\* SDATB8Y-\*-1001 SDATB8Y-\*-1006 | | Western Digital | PC SN730 | SDBQNTY-256G-11170101 SDBQNTY-512G-11170101 SDBQNTY-256G-11160101 SDBQNTY-512G-11160101 SDBQNTY-\*-1006 (NVMe) SDBQNTY-\*-1001 (NVMe) | | Western Digital | PC SN810 | SDCQNRY-1T00-1006 (NVMe) SDCQNRY-512G-1006 (NVMe) SDCQNRY-256G-1006 (NVMe) SDCQNRY-1T00-1001 (NVMe) | | Western Digital | Black | SDCQNRZ-2T00-1014 (NVMe) SDCQNRZ-512G-1014 (NVMe) | | Western Digital | PC SN740 | SDDQNQD-\*-1006 | | Crucial | P5 | MTFDHBA\*TFG-1AY15ABCT (NVMe) | | Crucial | M500 | 120GB | | Micron | 2210 | MTFDHBA\*QFD-1AX15ABYY (NVMe) MTFDHBA\*QFD-1AX15ABFA (NVMe) | | Micron | 1300 | MTFDDAK\*TDL-1AW15ABFA MTFDDAK\*TDL-1AW15ABDA MTFDDAK\*TDL-1AW15ABHA MTFDDAK\*TDL-1AW15ABLA MTFDDAK\*TDL-1AW12ABYY | | Micron | 2300 | MTFDHBA256TDV-1AY15ABHA (NVMe) | | Micron | 3400 | MTFDKBA512TFH-1BC15ABVA MTFDKBA512TFH-1BC15ABYY MTFDKBA512TFH-1BC15ABFA MTFDKBA512TFH-1BC15ABHA MTFDKBA512TFH-1BC15ABLA | | KIOXIA | XG6 | KXG6AZNV512G (NVMe) | | KIOXIA | XG8 | KXG8AZNV512G (NVMe) KXG8AZNV1T02 (NVMe) KXG8AZNV2T04 (NVMe) KXG8AZN84T09 (NVMe) | | KIOXIA | BG5 | KBG5AZNV\*G (NVMe) | \* = a single capacity has been selectively tested for compliance In addition to the above, you can use [sk93345](http://supportcontent.checkpoint.com/solutions?id=sk93345) to test a UEFI computer for compatibility with SED Opal encryption for Check Point Full Disk Encryption. --- # Agent Instructions This content is from the Check Point Support Center (https://support.checkpoint.com), the official knowledge base for Check Point cybersecurity products. ## Navigating This Knowledge Base - **Complete index**: [llms.txt](https://support.checkpoint.com/llms.txt) - **All SK articles**: [SecureKnowledge Sitemap](https://support.checkpoint.com/sitemaps/secureknowledge-sitemap-index.xml) - **SK article URL pattern**: `https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/{skId}` - **Markdown responses**: AI bot User-Agents automatically receive `text/markdown` content
