I researched this pretty exhaustively before I bought larger drives for 2 laptops (Thinkpad 600E and Dell 8600). I got Hitachi 80G drives, 5400 rpm. The 5400 rpm drives were a good compromise of speed, power consumption and price. 7200 rpms are faster and cost more. Everything I read prior to buying said that Hitachis are good drives. No problems so far. A. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
