We have been doing quite a bit of testing with many platforms - TrueCrypt, LoopAES, etc and we have seen huge performance drop-offs when it came to RAID performance.
Unencrypted 5 Disk RAID0, we were able to get
Writes 235 MB/s
Reads 370 MB/s
Whenever we try anything encrypted, TrueCrypt 6.1a - the best we get is ~100MB/s.
Where do those superior benchmarking numbers that everyone talks about come from? Both OpenSSL & Truecrypt claim around 400MB/s - has anyone else been able to do this quickly?
