• • • • If encryption has never been enabled and you do not plan to use it in the future, secure encrypted drives (SED) can be mixed with unencrypted (non-SED) drives in the same node. If encryption was never enabled and remains disabled, encrypted nodes can be mixed with unencrypted nodes in the same cluster. Encryption is not supported for NVMe drives. All nodes in the cluster must have SED capable drives to use hardware SED encryption.
