I think the standard itself is here:

https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/specs/Storage/

Browsing "TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class: Opal", I'm having a hard 
time seeing where the actual cryptography is specified.  They mention 
that they use AES but I can't see where they tell us what mode of 
operation they are using.
