QNAP TS-431XeU-8G 4-bay Rackmount NAS Review

The hardware encryption engine in the Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-314 works very well and keeps the performance loss when dealing with encrypted data to a minimum. In RAID 5 it loses just 6.8MB/s and 4.3MB/s in RAID 6 when in writing mode. When reading encrypted data the loss in RAID 5 is 9.6MB/s and in 11MB/s RAID 6.
