Hello,
I am using Windows 8.1 Pro x64 with a Samsung 850 Pro SSD. The hardware encryption is no problem when Intel RST 14.0.0.1143 is installed.
When I install the new RST 14.6.0.1029, the system is very very slow and the hardware encryption is not detected anymore.
The only way back is to do a system recovery of an older recorvery point.
If you want to use the eDrive with BitLocker, please don't install Intel RST 14.6.0.1029!
The Intel RST 14.0.0.1143 has no problem with eDrive and BitLocker.
