Welcome to the Community.

As noted on page 85 (90) of the WD My Cloud EX2’s user manual, encryption options are displayed when changing your RAID configuration, and this feature is not available in all countries.

Presently my drives are configured in JBOD unencrypted. If i want to want to encript it now by goi to storage management as mentioned in the manual page 90 and keep the same JBOD but additionally set the encription turned on, will it format my entire drives ?
