Help required in selecting the right encryption option for C drive
I'm running Windows 10 Pro x64 desktop PC with a Samsung Pro 850 256 as my main C drive. Other specs are 3770k and 16GB of DDR3. I also have a TPM chip installed on my mainboard. I've already encrypted all my secondary HDD's with BitLocker, but I'm still undecided which option I should take with C drive encryption? I was strongly leaning toward regular BitLocker with TPM enabled, but then I read about TrueCrypt, which apparently goes recommended by many. But by looking from Samsung Magician my SSD seems to support three types of hardware data security modes: Class 0, TCG Opal and generally named option "Encrypted Drive", which says its based on BitLocker. I like the idea of hardware encryption without any kind of performance hit, as well as best possible protection for my data in case my system gets lost to wrong hands.
I'd love to hear an opinion of an expert which way I should go? If one of those SSD hardware encryptions is a good choice, how do I enable it?
