    The performance hit is not really notable on the Intel machines with a T2 or the new M1 / M2 silicon.

    That said, in googling for benchmarks, theres not really much to find.

      My heaviest-use machines are an M1 Pro for development and AMD Ryzen (Windows) for gaming. My general guess is that both are so much faster than their predecessors, I don’t notice any hit if there is one.

      I have assorted OpenBSD machines using softraid encryption, but the OS is so lightweight (along with the software being used on them) that I haven’t noticed a disk speed hit so far.
