I wouldn’t trust any drive that offers the feature. We already know that those that have that thing to delete files or wtv it is called doesn’t work well, I would not touch with a foot long stick anything related to crypto on the hardware level.
For a drive with throwaway data where performance might be a concern but data protect is a nice-to-have it’s fine. Think games or a cache disk for art workstations
How do we know that the hardware encrypts the data correctly? Can we observe ciphertext?
