What is your target encrypted throughput (network speed)? >40 Gb (Enterprise, Multi-Petabyte Arrays) 10-25 Gb (SMB / Heavy Homelab) 2-10 Gb (Prosumer NAS, Plex + Backups) ≤2 Gb (Silent, Always-On, Remote Backups) 2. Do you prioritize power efficiency (low idle power) or raw core count for other applications? Power Efficiency (low idle power, e.g., for 24/7 operation) Raw Core Count (for other applications/VMs alongside NAS) 3. Is hardware crypto off-load (Intel QAT) a significant factor for you?
