NAS-138058 / 26.04 / Implement pool creation with hardware encryption support (SED)
Add Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) encryption option to pool creation wizard for Enterprise users. Includes automatic SED disk detection, filtering, password management, and visual indicators throughout the wizard.
Features:
- Radio group encryption selector (None/Software/SED)
- Auto-select SED when SED-capable disks detected (Enterprise only)
- SED password fields with validation and global password warnings
- Automatic disk filtering to show only SED-capable disks
- SED badges in Inventory and Manual Selection dialog
- Encryption type display in Configuration Preview and Review stage
- Manual Selection dialog SED Capable filter
Implementation:
- Phase 1: Data model, enums, store state, disk filtering (22 tests)
- Phase 2: General Step UI, password validation, warnings (12 tests)
- Phase 3: Visual indicators, badges, Review stage (16 tests)
Technical:
- 50 comprehensive unit tests, all passing
- Lint-clean, follows Angular best practices
- Reactive patterns with RxJS
- Proper TypeScript typing throughout

Review Feedback 🎯
This PR demonstrates excellent engineering practices with comprehensive SED encryption support implementation! The code is well-structured, follows Angular best practices, and includes thorough testing coverage.
Positive Aspects ✅
The implementation showcases several commendable qualities:
- Reactive patterns: Excellent use of RxJS with proper subscription management via
untilDestroyed - Type safety: Strong TypeScript typing throughout with proper enums and interfaces
- Testing coverage: 50 unit tests covering all major functionality and edge cases
- Component architecture: Clean separation of concerns with proper dependency injection using
inject()
Key Improvements Needed 🔧
1. Security Enhancement - Password Handling ⚠️
general-wizard-step.component.ts:246 - The SED password is stored in plain text in the component store:
sedPassword: encryptionType === EncryptionType.Sed ? sedPassword : null,
Recommendation: Consider adding a comment about password security handling or implement password hashing before storage if this data persists beyond component lifecycle.
2. Error Handling in Store
pool-manager.store.ts:295-301 - The error handling in loadStateInitialData() could be more specific:
error: (error: unknown) => {
this.patchState({ isLoading: false });
this.errorHandler.showErrorModal(error);
}
Recommendation: Add specific error handling for SED disk detection failures to provide better user feedback.
3. Magic Number in SED Status Check
disk.utils.ts:12-14 - The SED capability check has hardcoded status values:
export function isSedCapable(disk: DetailsDisk): boolean {
return disk.sed_status === SedStatus.Uninitialized || disk.sed_status === SedStatus.Unlocked;
}
Recommendation: Consider adding a comment explaining why only Uninitialized and Unlocked statuses are considered capable, or create a helper constant for SED-capable statuses.
4. Template Accessibility
general-wizard-step.component.html:40-42 - The SED warning message could benefit from proper ARIA attributes:
<div class="sed-global-password-warning">
Recommendation: Add role="alert" or aria-live="polite" for screen reader accessibility.
5. Potential Race Condition
pool-manager.store.ts:276-290 - There's a potential race condition between disk loading and SED capability detection:
switchMap(([enclosures, diskDetails]) => {
return this.diskStore.hasSedCapableDisks$.pipe(
take(1),
tap((hasSedCapableDisks) => {
this.patchState({ ... });
}),
);
})
Recommendation: Consider adding error handling if hasSedCapableDisks$ fails to emit within reasonable time.
Technical Architecture Review 🏗️
The implementation follows a solid architectural pattern:
- Store pattern: Well-implemented NgRx-style store with clear state management
- Filtering logic: Elegant disk filtering with proper composition of criteria
- Component lifecycle: Proper cleanup and reactive form handling
- Enterprise licensing: Correctly integrated license checks for feature availability
Minor Suggestions 📝
general-wizard-step.component.ts:158-165- Consider extracting the default encryption type logic to a separate service for better testabilityinventory.component.html:5-7- The SED badge styling could be documented in the component or moved to a shared badge component- Consider adding JSDoc comments to the
isSedCapablefunction for better code documentation
Overall Assessment 🌟
This is a well-executed feature implementation that demonstrates strong Angular development skills and attention to detail. The reactive patterns, comprehensive testing, and clean architecture make this code maintainable and reliable.

@aervin @AlexKarpov98 this is not ready/functional yet. There is no API available, however as this is getting large I would like to get a review before it gets even bigger. I will make additional PR for remaining changes once API is ready.
probably i missed Submit button earlier .. :)
