BitLocker with Self Encrypting Drives

Hi,

Has anyone tried to use Hardware SED disks with Windows 2012 BitLocker ?

We have a couple of Seagate SED disks we are testing and i was expecting BitLocker to detect they are hardware based encrypting drives but they just seem to be being picked up as normal disks, So i am unsure if we are getting the benefits of the hardware encryption .

Can someone tell me if this is normal behaviour in Windows Server 2012 or should i be seeing something else ?

Thanks

Wayne
