Hi Community,
With an encrypted SSD using a BIOS password, you'd need to enter that password before the drive boots. If you swap it into another computer, the OS would likely recognize the password and allow access. However, the drive itself wouldn't boot automatically on the new machine unless the password is still valid there. It depends on how the system handles encrypted drives across different hardware.

You can't secure a drive using a BIOS password. As mentioned, the password stops the system from starting without it. The SSD doesn’t have encryption issues, so everything should function properly.
