> I don't see a reason to still use software encryption. Why not? Software encryption can still be hardware accelerated (thanks to encryption instructions in the CPU), and it is fast enough to not be a bottleneck unless you have a very fast IO device (and very fast in this case mean either Optane or modern SSD's in RAID-0). Also, the impact in CPU usage/power consumption is low.
