What software should I use to encrypt my hard drive? [closed]

What software should I use to encrypt my hard drive? [closed] I am currently running Windows 7 RC x64 on my home system, and am interested in encrypting my hard drive. I've heard good things about TrueCrypt, but am curious what other folks might suggest. I primarily use my system for software development, so am concerned about any system performance degradation that encryption might introduce.

"As you mentioned, there's TrueCrypt.

There's also PGP Whole Disk Encryption.

If you purchase Windows 7 Ultimate, you'll also have BitLocker built in, which is one of the few compelling features of Ultimate."
