Thanks guys, Paul you make very good points. Noted...
- You have a server in a secured server room on a rack (is there any
need
and advantage to having system encryption in this particular case)
Only if there's requirements from above... or if you're going to be pulling drives as backups, say, and taking them out of there.
Very interesting, Your response just gave me another question :) If I have system encrytion on a server with RAID (dont think the type matters, but lets say RAID 5) and hot-swappable drives and one drive fails. What happens when you replace the drive, how do you handle rebuilding the data on the new drive with system encryption? are there online resources/links for handling rebuilding the data on new drives when the server/PC already had system encryption. Or are my questions/thoughts on this way of course.
As I understand it, RAID is lower lever then partition, and encryption is partition based, so RAID will not care what you have above, it will do it's job regardless.
