I have a Win 2012 server hot with SATA hotswap bay and controller. I use it for backup and rotate two drives (one in safe)

I like now to encrypt the drives. So, intuition is to use bitlocker.

However, can I move a SATA hotswap drive to another host and decrypt just with password? Or will this trigger recovery?

I know I can move a USB drive between hosts, using just the pass code. But not sure about hotswap drive...
