When I asked the system admin last week who configured the system he said they don't encrypt drives. However, I don't know this drive came from and I'll have to see if they know. It's an SSD drive. I wonder if that drive was used and if the previous user had it configured as encrypted. I don't think the drive is broken as it had given no errors prior to the quick format, nor do I see any errors while examining it. Unless the quick format somehow broke it. Looking at the content of the sector from the tool iRecover the contents all but a couple of the blocks are zero.
Here is the content of myreport.txt.
