If you're talking about SED feature, no, it isn't widespread since it's regarded as an "enterprise" feature and only available in minority of drives (regardless of HDD or SSD).
Client or OEM variants of same drives (otherwise identical) lack SED option most of the time and doesn't encrypt data by default.
"Active" with those systems just means the encryption key is now user-supplied instead of being stored on the controller/drive. The actual encryption is always active; which makes sense, if anything it means you have one less configuration to test.
