i'll be planning on buying a new laptop with 2 hard drive bays, one for a 256gb SSD and the other for a 500GB HDD for storage. I'd like to put all my important files on the HDD to encrypt it as i'll be carrying it with me for business.

my main concern is someone finding my laptop, turns it on to find out they can't log in so they remove the hard drive(s) and access it like an external drive all my files. how can i prevent this from happening?
