MSA data encryption

Hello,

I'm trying to clear a doubt regarding the data at rest encryption on MSA 2060 storage.

Is it possible to have different DG with "normal" drives and SED drives and having data encryption only enabled on the DG with SED drives ?

thanks

No the MSA allows encryption on the whole system only.  If you have both Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs) and non-SEDs in the system you will have 1 of 2 experiences:
1. If the system is already configured with a passphrase for encryption the non-SED drives installed will be in UNUSABLE state
2. If the system is not encryption enabled then encryption will not be allowed to be enabled
