XPS 15 9550 SSD Hardware Encryption / Bitlocker
I have the 1TB NVMe SSD (Samsung PM951) and can't get hardware Bitlocker encryption working. Can someone confirm whether the PM951 supports eDrive/TCG Opal? If not, will a firmware update enable support in the future?
I have the TPM and UEFI enabled, but when I try to set up Bitlocker, I do not get the hardware encryption option. Seems like the PM951 should support this like Samsung's retail drives. I can't even use the Samsung disk utilities to investigate because those are only for retail drives.

I'm also interested in this issue for my XPS twin Precision 5510. Please let me know if you find something out!

Not all Samsung retail drives do support eDrive. 950 PRO, for example, is just stated to support eDrive in a future firmware upgrade. I hope the situation is the same for PM951 (if it doesn't support it already).

Any news on this one? Someone using a 950 pro with eDrive in a 9550?
I have issues with Bitlocker and the Dock WD15 (which quite often thinks that the hardware has changed when docked/undocked and requires the loooong key to be re-entered).
