Self Encrypting Drive (SED) support on TrueNAS SCALE

[rockybulwinkle]

Does TrueNAS SCALE support SED hard drives? I am trying to source drives for a new zpool and am having trouble finding non-SED drives. Specifically I am considering ST16000NM004G. I don't actually need the SED feature for my use case so it's ok if the drives themselves are supported as long as the SED feature is unused.

I asked a similar question for FreeBSD here: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/self-encrypting-drive-sed-support.81568/

This is because the pool will initially be created as a backup for an existing pool running on FreeBSD 12.2. Then it will be migrated to a new machine running either TrueNAS CORE or SCALE. CORE appears to support SED in its documentation, but I didn't see anything about that in SCALE's documentation.

Thanks!

By default the SED drives will work on SCALE, don't need to unlock them on to use them as regular devices.
