Samsung SSD Encryption Software vs. Bitlocker

[Merlin_KM]

Hello,

Looking for some advice on whether I should use the included Samsung encryption software with my external SSD. I know a huge vulnerability was found in this: Article. Supposedly it's been patched out, but I'm wondering if using Bitlocker on this drive would be a more secure solution. I would also disable Bitlocker automatically using the crypto hardware on the drive as it uses this by default. Even though in the same article, a Bitlocker vulnerability is also highlighted...(sigh)

Any advice?
Thanks in advance!

Both are good but I would personally go with Sammy Encryption and what not.

I'm leaning that way, but is there a specific reason you'd say samsung?

Because Samsung makes the drive and their software will be solid and have zero bugs and is tried and tested over many many users and what not.
