I mean to be fair all of those appear to be cheap junk. You would probably find better results with something from a reputable brand or that has undergone some kind of third party testing.
They're basically all exactly this though, no matter what you're paying this is generally what is underneath. Competent encryption in hardware is difficult, so everybody is doing it in software, and then why id the software hardware specific to begin with?
Reputable brands that passed FIPS testing have also been hacked in the past. https://securingtomorrow.mcafee.com/business/vulnerability-i...
Synology is a semi-reputable name brand that sells things like NASes and is in one of the links above.
