So, is this Secure Boot a function of the hard drive, or the chipset on the MoBo?

The latter, I believe. UEFI was touted as a more secure alternative to the ancient BIOS chip.

Thanks. That was my suspicion. I’m planning on doing a Linux build in the near future to replace my 10 year old desktop, so I guess I’ll have to be extra careful about selecting components.
