It would make little sense to send your hard disk data into and out of a usb
port to speed up loop-aes... I was researching this topic (i.e. AES encryption
via hardware, incidently on *BSD) and came across these cards:

(See the e-commerce processor boards)

Anyone used these or cards with the Broadcom BCM5823-200? Such as:

Some more are listed here:

Anyone out there who has real world experience with these boards?
