I rarely trust some HW features like encryption, RAID and compression... They tend to render the devices way less interoperable and make recovery way harder. A tape drive must only store exactly what I throw at it in the most reliable way. It must be readable on a similar drive even if from another supplier and with a different FW version (I've seen RAID cards unable to recognize the disks after a FW upgrade!). Crypto is fragile: it's easy to do it wrong. Hence I prefer a dedicated piece of software (that can easily be replaced/upgraded) to some HW that implements unknown crypto (for someone, XOR with key is enough to say "I support crypto")...
