Hi Richard, We have over 100 such disks (Seagate drives in Dell MD1200 enclosures) running on Solaris-10 and OpenIndiana servers (mostly the latter). Being able to turn on the drives' encryption would be useful to us, both for meeting potential requirements from "above", and for saving the cost of the "keep your hard drive" add-on to our Dell service contracts. BTW, some encryption requirements I'm aware of include the need for some kind of centralized reporting functionality. I.e. without that in place, the data isn't considered to be encrypted.
