Me too, but for a different reason: I wonder if it can work with BitLocker if you're using software encryption (as hardware encryption is transparent enough that the drive basically locks and unlocks).
It would still save the CPU cost of decompression but it'd have to go through RAM for (AES-NI accelerated) CPU decryption either way. Maybe at that point RAM speed and latencies start to matter more. Or the feature turns off altogether. Definitely something to test.
