Enabling Self-encrypting SSD on non-boot drive?

You can use a program like Embassy Security Suite (included with Sandisk X300s SSD) or the freeware msed utility to enable TCG OPAL encryption on a self-encrypting SSD. It loads a boot-loader and you have to enter the password before it chain-loads your OS. But how do you do the same thing with a non-boot self-encrypting SSD drive used for storage?
 
Does your BIOS support encryption? If so, just set a password, enable the correct BIOS option to turn it on, and you should be good to go.

That seems to be mainly a laptop feature (which mostly only have 1 drive anyways). Most desktop boards don't seem to have that option.

To my knowledge you should be able to use Embassy for non-boot drives as well.

When would it prompt for the password for the non-boot drive? Would it simply set the same password for both SSDs so that both are unlocked at the same time during boot?
