Just to make sure: "unencrypted" means that anyone who get's this disk in his/her fingers will be able to read all data stored on it! The options "activated" and "deactivated" are describing the status of the disk inside the CryptoBox and so in your network. If a disk is "activated" its content is available in your network. So if you "activated" an "encrypted" disk, you can access its data in your network. This is symbolized by an opened lock icon.
