    It's not an important feature because our data is valuable. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    This would be a really great feature. For some VMs I would love to have full-disk encryption available during Droplet creation (AES256 bit encrypted would be of favour).

    Additionally -- when one removes a droplet there should be an erase function so a new droplet doesn't end up with access to your privileged information.

    This is more than a nice option. It should be available by default!
