Thanks for your post. Dell Encryption works at the File level of the disk so your testing is spot on for expectations. Opening a file outside of the managed OS will show cipher text and since the solution is file focused the structure of the file system is left in a plaintext state. To your point you would need a SED or FVE type solution with PBA to fully encrypt the file table which would prevent the disk structure from being exposed when booted from an unmanaged OS.
