It should do it pretty well on a laptop. I think this s/w crypto should be fast enough to handle the single user on a laptop or even on a workstation. As for security - it uses strong crypto with a password/keyfile/volume combo.
But I think another problem may rise with such a tool as the crypto door swings in both directions: if you loose any of the three you may have a serious problem (if you don't have a secured non-encrypted backup of your data...)
fyi: SeNTry is a program for WinNT/2k which creates crypted virtual volumes
ps: no, I'm NOT promoting it, I'm just using it and I really like it
The soundcard makers tend to be trying to be louder than the competition. On a industry trade show there is quite a lot of people not really liking this behaviour i guess. So Creative ans alike were ordered not to present their soundcards & mp3-devices consumer-oriented.
One thing a lot of people just don't realize is that "backup" and "cheap" are not to be used in the same sentence. Data on $.50 CDR Media is >>not safe If you want to make sure your data lasts for the next few decades use DAT or DLT (10-30 years). Periodical media replacement is the only way to go and the fact that almost all data is/can be stored digitally makes it easy (but not cheap).
The punched cards is a nice idea, but not as realiable as one might think. Paper also dissolves quite rapidly due to acids used during production.
ps: I don't think I need my p0rn collection after a nuklear stike...

Maybe you should have a look at the IPC@Chip. It's a 80186 @ 20MHz with built-in FLASH, SRAM and Ethernet. The address is: www.beck-ipc.com
