We full disk encrypt all our laptops, hard disk and SSD. We use
enterprise versions of PointSec (now Checkpoint. IIRC) or PGP. Both
work fine. We have not found FIPS 140-2 approved devices to use. In
talking to the vendors, they say by the time a disk gets certified, the
disk is obsolete. So while they have disks that encrypt to that
standard, they're not certified.
I've beat on our Lenovo rep to offer such disks but they seem to have
the same problem in getting them certified.
I know Seagate makes some 3.5" drives that are FIPS-140-2 certified -- it
might be worth checking into whether or not they offer 2.5" ones as well.
A quick scan of their site seems to indicate that they might.
