Wd red pro wd4002ffwx support encryption?

i have a NAS SERVER Thecus N5180PRO and install 2 WD RED PRO WD4002FFWX disks FOR RAID 1 & ENCRYPTION .

THE ENCRYPTION IS NOT APPLICABLE INTO 2 WD RED PRO WD4002FFWX WITH RAID1

THE COMPANY THECUS ASKED ME IF THE HARD DISKS SUPPORTS ENCRYPTION AES256

COULD YOU HELP FOR THIS SPEC OF DISK MODEL ?

I can’t honestly say I’ve heard of ANY Consumer Grade internal drives that do hardware encryption.

Lots of USB / External disks do (including most of WD’s) but I don’t think ANY of their consumber 3.5" drives do…

I do believe that HGST (a WD subsidiary) offers some Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs) but I don’t know off hand if it’s AES256.
