You probably shouldn't use OPAL if you want device encryption.
There was an article published last year that showed that almost all OPAL drives had some security issue that let users bypass(yes I do mean bypass) the encryption. Several instances the PBKD was stored on disk, and a conditional if statement decided to use it
