5.3.2 TCG Opal SSC Support
The Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series drive is a Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) that supports the TCG Opal SSC Specification
Version 2.0 rev 1.0 mandatory commands along with the following features:
 PSID (Physical presence Security ID) Revert for SSD Repurposing
 AES mode: XTS-AES 256-bit
 FIPS 197 certified
Once Opal is activated by user (Locking SP in “Manufactured” state), per Opal specification, ATA Security Features
are not supported by the drive. Word 82, bit 1 and Word 128, bit 0 will indicate
no support (bit = 0). Host should not attempt any ATA Security Features when Opal is activated.
