HDD Encryption on OS 6.4.2
Is it just me, or did the ability to encrypt volumes during setup disappear in the firmware release? I have looked high and low in the setting to be able to find its location but I think the feature went away. Has anyone found it?
Hi Newsat11,
Haven't noticed this with the 6.4.2 Firmware but it can be done after setup. Check this manual and turn to pages 31-33.
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,

Thanks for the help! I did end up finding it as well, I eventually went and downloaded the new manual for the firmware. I preferred the option during initial setup because it reminded me to do it before I started adding data. Having the volume created, having to go back and destroy it, then rebuild it again just to get encryption seems a little cumbersome compared to where it used to be. It's all good, I will mark your comment as the solution. Thanks again.
