Price? Doing a quick check on Newegg, the cheapest SSDs currently start at about $50-$60 (although one can occasionally find one on sale / special / after rebate for $20-$30), and searching within those results for 'encryption' indicates that the cheapest with that capability is about $95. No idea what the premium is for higher quality / more modern / larger capacity drives, or to what extent Newegg's prices are representative.
