Encryption without SED hard drives

[elberne_507]

I have put in place all the encryption setting in my Freenas box 11.2 but i have normal hard drive (non SED drives). What will happend? the data will be not encripted or it will use the CPU in order to encrypt the data?.

I have search the forum for a simple answer but I haven´t found nothing. I apologize if this has been explained or asked before.

SED and FreeNAS encryption are two distinct and unrelated things. If you check the box to encrypt the pool, your data on disk will be encrypted using your CPU.
