For me the only reason I really care about encryption is if I have to RMA a drive my data isn

It just means theft is slightly less worrisome

no known backdoor doesn

Different threat models and all that but with even a simple passphrase chances are the data just gets wiped if stolen

I think in general the performance cost is low enough that at minimal TPM encryption at least helps with RMA or recycling scenarios
