I was fortunate enough to pick up a Sabrent DS-UCTB (USB-C 3.2 10 bay tray-less docking station) recently, so i'm currently going through my numerous external drives and either ditching them or grabbing the drives out of them, but i'd like to add in a couple of really big storage drives.
One of the options I have is a 14TB Seagate EXOS X18 enterprise drive (ST14000NM001J) for a sensible price - now here's the question, it's an SED model, however I have neither then need, desire nor intention to use the additional encryption this model provides..... can i still use it in the external box? or is there some reason i shouldn't (i can't see any reason not to)
