Reply to comment by Gareth79 in Apple announces plans to encrypt iCloud data on its servers, including full backups, photos and notes. by [deleted]
I don’t necessarily think it’s at rest, doing so would exponentially increase your computing power. But it’s probably something like Windows a bit locker. Where the entire drive is encrypted when you turn it on, requiring a key to even boot. To steal a drive, the power would be disconnected. Or some other thing to trigger a shut down/require the key.

Bitlocker encrypts when the feature is enabled, not when the computer is "turned on". Every read and write requires encryption/decryption of the data. It doesn't "exponentially" increase the computing power required, modern CPUs have AES acceleration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitLocker
