WD 4TB Elements Desktop HDD (Does Hardware Encryption Apply With 4TB Version?)

WD Elements Desktop Hard Drive Hardware Encryption Been doing some reading and wondered if the 4TB version of Elements Desktop has hardware encryption? http://www.wdc.com/en/products/external/desktop/

It mentions that the 2TB and 3TB dosn’t have it, but not the 4TB.

good question

but looking at the product page … it makes no mention of any encryption (even up to 5TB)
