check
box may be used to encrypt the array immediately. Checking this box disables the check boxes below all
disks that are not SEDs. Encrypting an array prevents user data being read from disks that are removed
from the unit without the corresponding encryption key. If this option is selected, you will be prompted to
download the encryption key once the array has been created.
