Samsung's T7 Shield comes with AES 256-bit hardware encryption but what is the real life significance? This isn't a device with fingerprint scanner or keypad for PIN code so there is no on device hardware lock to go with it.

I can always use software encryption if I want to protect the device but since I end up plugging them in TV, mobile phone, gaming console etc. I do not want that as not all the devices can handle it.

Just to make sure also that there is not any such encryption on this device that can't be turned off, before I buy?
