Consumer Notice regarding Samsung SSDs

In light of recent reporting for potential breach of self-encrypting SSDs in expert hacker's possession, Samsung provides the following options of added protection for our valued consumers:

For non-portable SSDs:
We recommend installing encryption software (freeware available online) that is compatible with your system.
