They should still be using the CPU’s built-in AES hardware acceleration, yes? It seems they have good reason not to trust the SSD to handle the encryption but that doesn’t mean it has to be entirely implemented in software. CPU-accelerated AES shouldn’t be that much slower.
Sure, but 20-40% slower? That points to something being poorly optimised.
Yes, that’s what happens when there’s no hardware acceleration and it fails back to software.

They’re likely using an open implementation
This is Microsoft, they’re likely using someone else’s implementation without paying them. /s
Those two are incompatible. Did you have just no idea on the first one or what
I was joking in my last comment, in reference to Norton Disk Defrag.
Yeah but I still can’t imagine them rolling out their own closed source crypto implementation of AES.
This is the same as all other solutions.
