The SSD is not there to do the detection but to allow fast reverts of encrypted files once it is detected. Remapping blocks is a core operation for creating COW snapshots and the SSD already has to do it quickly for wear levelling. Software like LVM can already create snapshots at the block level but being software it has a performance penalty the SSD would not have.
Traditional AV software still has to do the detection and its capable of that long before the entire drive is rewritten.
