  If the drive is having hardware trouble, it's already a crap shoot
as to whether you'll get any data off of it.  You should have some
kind of data protection strategy (i.e., backups) in place to protect
data on laptop hard drives, independent of whether or not whole disk
encryption is in use.

  Whole disk encryption won't make data recovery from a failed disk
any easier, for sure, but again, lack-of-backups would be the real
problem there.
