[Q] Does it support encryption?

The title of this thread says everything. I'm going to buy the Xperia Z during next week, because it's the best phone on market for me. =)
But I read an article yesterday, which says, that a lot of Xperia-Phones doesn't support encryption, so I'm not sure if the Xperia z does.

It have this oprion in settings. Didn'try it.

SD card encryption
And how do you enable SD card encryption?
I have succesfully encrypted local storage, but cant find option for encrypting SD card :-/

It only encrypts /data and your internal memory (internal SD) remains untouched, you might have a false sense of security that your files r encrypted but they are not! including all of your photos and videos on your internal memory

so u need root for this. or is there a way without root?

I really dont think you need to do so... 8gb is enough for your apps

Flash a official firm ware using flashtool for xperia if it will be a build. Prop thing it will be resolved....

Take the card out of your phone and put it into another device to see if it is readable

Ah, your OP was a bit vague. The others, including me, were thinking that you were talking about the external storage. Have you unlocked your bootloader? Have you succesfully flashed a rom through Flashtool, without modifying any of the options?

My bootloader is locked... I do not was flashing with custom roms... From night,to the morning stop working by himself... I'm flashing stock rom again...with flash tool and Sony Pc Companion and still not work... Its very weird...

So do you think we can't write something to external sdcard, don't you? Here's a simple test, set your camera to store any captured images to external sdcard, and see if it can.

There's this thread of firmwares:

But I don't know how to tell one from another. My country isn't actually in this list and I bought the unlocked international version from Sony.
