Disk/Volume Encryption

You need to get priorities right These are both very naive comments - particularly when posted the same day as the release of the 1st bare 3TB drive.

So let me get this straight, 3TB drive comes onto the market today. Customers have been demanding encryption for years and 3TB drive is given priority? Hello......
It's going to be a long time before anyone sane installs a 3TB drive in a production NAS, whether it be a home user or a business user.

There are places in the world where IPv6 *has* been enforced by ISPs and for those users lack of IPv6 support can create tremendous difficulty. It also holds back adoption of ReadyNAS devices on business networks that run on IPv6. Just because you are not affected in the UK doesn't make this less of an issue.

Wow, care to name these places? You do realise anyone on IPv6 cannot get to 99.9% of websites/internet and their are only a handful of IPv6 to IPv4 tunnels and even those are unreliable.

While encryption would be "nice to have" there are other ways to achieve security, whereas IPv6 is an unconditional requirement for an increasing number of people

What about Business users for whom 'Encryption' is an unconditional requirement?

There are many variations to encryption, I just used the bog standard configuration. I am sure once tweaked performance can be improved however I would gladly give up performance over security.
