With software encryption you get updates in case vulnerabilities are discovered and such. With hardware… I guess you might get them if you think to check for them? That sounds like a pain though. Also if the algorithm used suddenly becomes obsolete because of new discoveries, you’re now left with a very expensive unsecure disk?
But I’m not very knowledgeable in encryption so I might be wrong.
Not sure of the pros, I only see cons…

SSDs can get firmware updates like anything else.
