Hi,

I am looking a full-disk-encryption S/W for my Linux based laptop.

1] It should be fast
2] It should use AES (256 bit preferred)

Could any one suggest such best tool for Linux ?
You could try cryptsetup. It comes packaged for most Linux distributions as far as I know. Just do a "apt-get install cryptsetup" or "yum install cryptsetup" or whatever you use.

You could also check out this list of products with performance data:
