Encrypt almost any disk in Mountain Lion
I recently began encrypting the boot drive and external drives on my system and have some observations to offer regarding the encryption of the non-boot volumes:
Item #3 is worth singling-out: In researching FileVault and whole volume encryption I found references to one user's experience where an encryption process was somehow corrupted across a system restart. The experience did not account for why/how the corruption took place but until I verified the actual behavior myself, it was implied that restarting the system after initiating the encryption process was not advisable. In my case the encryption processes have survived multiple system restarts since I restarted the system after initiating the encryption process for each of (so far) two volumes. Encryption is slow—I'm seeing about 60-65GB/hr. on late 2012 Mac mini Server (2.3GHz Core i7)—but you do have unfettered access to the volume(s) while they are being encrypted.
