SanDisk Professional PRO-G40 SSD ENCRYPTION

I purchased a SanDisk Professional PRO-G40 SSD 2TB drive.

Does this drive have hardware encryption? I thought I saw that it does.

If so - does anyone know how to enable it? I tried using some of the SanDisk software but it said it was only supposed on flash drives.

I enabled software encryption on my Mac by right clicking on the drive in Finder and selecting “Encrypt”.

Is that all that is available? Is it efficient and won’t affect my 3000MB r/w speeds. I am using it on my Mac mini with Thunderbolt 4 port and the thunderbolt cable that came with the drive.
