Hi

I am about to purchase a Crucial BX100 120GB to replace my HDD. I read
that it doesn't provide hardware acceleration for Full Disk Encryption
(FDE). Should I be concerned (in terms of performance) about such a
matter, given that I am indeed planning to use the default LUKS FDE
(as is the case for my current HDD) and the PC is used for word
processing and spreadsheets (no gaming, video editing)?

Thanks!
