Truecrypt works very well in my experience, but I assume you're looking for something you can deploy and manage administratively. If that's the case it's probably not appropriate. I also haven't done any performance testing to see just what kind of performance hit it causes.

I looked at software encryption a while back, and opted instead for on the fly hardware encryption built into the hard drives. That provides a much better performance boost, and the it costs me about $60 per hard drive. I currently use the Hitachi 7200 RPM drives with 'BDE' as they call it. I found it far easier to manage as well. Fortunately, I enacted this as we were rolling out new laptops anyway.

About a year ago I demo'd a few full-disk encryption products and really liked PGP and now I've been tasked to provide a full-disk encryption solution on all our laptops. Is anyone using PGP? I'm looking for gotcha's, or even better someone who would help with implementation and roll out. About 200 laptops, XP systems in an AD environment and some VPN users thrown in for good measure.
