Interesting. Some of these are even FIPS 140-2 approved:

Rocsecure continues to deliver the next generation encrypted
technologies to drive new levels of security, performance and ease-of-
use in a 2.5" internal Real-Time Hardware Encrypted hard drive
solutions. Rocsafe 2.5" internal Hardware encrypted drives are
designed to be mounted (replaces) within your notebook computer just
like the existing hard disk drive that is currently installed in your
notebook. Rocsafe is a secure storage device that consists of a hard
disk drive and a hardware based encryption module that encrypts every
byte and every sector of data that is written into the hard disk.
Rocsafe is operating system independent and does not require any
software drivers. It also encrypts all temporary files, as well as
areas that would normally be missed and left in "clear" by software
encryption products. Encryption and decryption occurs transparently
without any loss in disk performance (Real-Time.) Users simply use
their notebooks as usual with the assurance and complete peace of
mind that their data is fully protected in the unfortunate event that
their notebooks are stolen or lost.

an option for me at the moment.
Encrypted disk images have the same plusses and minuses as PGPdisk--
they work great as a place to put sensitive documents and data, but
I also need to protect the browser & email caches, iChat logs (if
they are turned on) and other things that live in the home
directory. From a functional standpoint, FileVault home
directories actually do quite well, and our security guys have
approved it as an interim step, but I'm trying to identify some
additional alternatives.
