Security as a background process

Currently, Sanitize drops into the background, Security however does not. So my request is to add a similar function for Security. The reason being, is parallel Secure Erase. Having multiple drives running in parallel. If this isn't technically possible, I would like to know that. Are there technical limitations surrounding this? For example, is the controller being locked up during the process? I've heard that some people are able to open multiple term windows and run parallel commands such as this, but, in a recent attempt, I tried 6 drives in parallel using multiple background instances of a shell script. The machine decided it was a good time to completely switch off.
