What the difference between Disk Security & RAID encryption?

Disk Security base on ATA Securuty protocol between HDD & BIOS:
http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_ATA_Security_Mode
http://www.t13.org/documents/UploadedDocuments/docs2006/e05179r4-ACS-SecurityClarifications.pdf

RAID Volume with Encryption (RAID Encryption) base on Thecus OS from AES 256bit RAID Volume Encryption feature allows users to encrypt RAID volumes on their Thecus NAS with a writable USB disk. Once a RAID volume has been encrypted, no one will be able to access their NAS to retrieve data or modify settings without the USB disk containing the encrypted key; therefore, users’ precious data will be 100% secure even if someone has stolen their hard drives or the even their entire NAS server.
