Clark, If it was taken from an Array emulating MF it would be very, very dificult to read, but it is certainly not encrypted. It would not be useful to the idiot described in this stolen drive article, but there still is data in the clear.
If someone was after something very specific on a LUN or volume in a Disk Array then they would have to steal all the disks in the array group that are used by the emulated volume, and have a very intimate knowledge of the how the vendor formats the FBA disk. I love to see how they would handle an Array using something like LSF or Wide Striping.
