That is because your CPU has encryption features - the QNAP devices

That's a bit off topic now to my questions, but I guess many other
people using RAIDs on their QNAPs might be interested later as well:
which QNAP do you have exactly?

I mean they all have either ARM based CPUs, or Atom... so in my case, a
D2700 with an FCBGA559... which CPU (that has AESNI) could you find for
that? Since AFAIK there are no[0] Atoms at all with AESNI?


Cheers,
