I used hardware encryption on my Samsung EVO 850 on a laptop that recently died. The laptop used to ask for a password from the UEFI, before I was able to boot. I still have the password in a password safe, but not the encryption key.

I would expect the encryption key to be stored on the disk, not on some chip of my motherboard. However, I can't figure this out when I plug my disk in another machine. I also found this schema on Wikipedia listing all types on key storage on a TPM chip in the motherboard.

Question: Can I decrypt my disk with another machine, or do I really need to original motherboard to do so?
