Is full ssd laptop protection real?

I have an ultrabook with ssd. I carry it with me everywhere. And then there was a failure, I got under the control of the authorities without any blocking - as a result, a lot of security problems: after all, you open the browser - there is a Google account -> mail, VK, other sites, + desktop files, downloads, history ...
And the information there is quite insider information, I don’t want anyone to see it at all.
Actually, the question is: how to protect a laptop + drive at an absolute level?
So that even when connecting ssd via Sata to the system unit, it was simply impossible to even see the free space, not to mention folders and files. And a separate word about the Windows password: by googling, I understand that if the disk is read on another PC, you can change the password. But if this is a Microsoft account, does it break somehow?

The people write correctly.
Technically there are solutions. Either enable encryption at the SSD level, or at the OS level.
At the SSD level, some Samsung and Intel models support encryption.
But! it's all from the punks. All SSDs sold in the Russian Federation are FSB certified for encryption.
This means that it will not save from serious attention of the organs.
At the OS level = BitLocker is not bad (Windows), especially if the laptop has a built-in TPM (encryption module).
Either the MacBook has built-in encryption mechanisms at the SSD level. So far, there have not been any explicit references to hacking poppies by organs.
In this case, it is necessary to share the level of interest. If the police are interested in you, at the level of the district / city investigator, then everything is simpler.
If the interest is federal or the level of the FSB, then everything that can be bought in Russia is hacked into the MSC in the center of computer expertise of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The only way is to have nothing on the laptop, everything is remote. On the laptop only RDP and SSH client.

That's what encryption is for. For example, BitLocker.

The disk can be encrypted. VeraCrypt, BitLocker and others.
Ideally, to be able to enter 2 passwords. One opens a real disk, and the other opens a fake one. This can help with the thermorectal method. But on the fake section, you also need to maintain the appearance of work in it, otherwise they will figure it out

Dear, if you got hit - no one will really care what protection methods your ultrabook has - because the thermorectal method does not give errors. You yourself will tell everything.
