Explanation
NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE) and NVMe self-encrypting drives (SED) are two NetApp products that offer hardware encryption. Hardware encryption is a method of encrypting data at the disk level using a hardware-accelerated mechanism. NSE requires all drives in an HA pair to be purpose-built, self-encrypting drives. These drives perform the data encryption themselves through a hardware- accelerated mechanism. Because of the hardware acceleration, NSE systems usually outperform NVE systems when encrypting data. NVMe self-encrypting drives (SED) are a type of NSE drives that use the NVMe protocol to provide high performance and low latency. NVMe SEDs are supported on select NetApp AFF systems.
