Hello, There are no changes that should slowdown anything. I would say the best approach would be to do your own tests. It also depends a lot if you using AES on a system that supports AES-IN CPU instructions. My home NAS can reach 2 GB/s throughput in CrystalDiskMark on DC encrypted volumes. Cheers...
