You are correct, if you have an encrypted drive, you have to use the passphrase to mount it, therefore, it is safe if "taken as evidence" However, if it's online and the system is hacked, the encrypted filesystem won't help much because it's already mounted. As to your original question, could you encrypt the data before storing it in the database? That would solve any issues involved with multiple databases and outside encryption.
