No need to buy a dedicated drive
LUKS works with every SSD and hard drive, so you don't have to search for compatible drives, nor do you need to buy a new one, that is, if you're willing to wipe your current one.

•••
Requires advanced command line knowledge
In order to use dm-crypt you need to have advanced knowledge of Linux and of the command line, as well as the Linux filesystem. However, most distros support easy creation of LUKS-encrypted drives when installing Linux transparently.
