Microsoft Enhances Windows Storage Speed with Hardware-Accelerated BitLocker

Microsoft acknowledges that enabling BitLocker on Windows 11 PCs with NVMe SSDs can cause a performance slowdown, especially during resource-intensive tasks like gaming and video editing, due to increased CPU usage for encryption. However, hardware-accelerated BitLocker, supported by upcoming CPUs and SoCs, offloads encryption tasks to dedicated hardware, significantly reducing CPU load and improving performance and battery life. Users can verify support via command line, and future updates will enable automatic use of hardware acceleration on compatible devices.

AMD A620 Motherboards: Full PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSD Support, but Limited TDP Compatibility

ASRock's newly released AMD A620 motherboard lineup features full support for PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSDs, despite AMD targeting the A620 as a PCIe Gen 4.0 platform. While ASRock's Pro offerings come with the necessary hardware to support Gen 5 SSDs, future AGESA updates may limit that support. However, it does not make sense to have a Gen 5 SSD running on an entry-level platform like this since the SSDs are priced around $300-$400 US, more than what you'll be paying for an entry-level Ryzen 7000 CPU.
