A few links to 2.5" HD tests that may be usefull for responding this point : http://www2.tomshardware.com/storage/20030813/index.html Which feature the Hitachi Travelstar (ex IBM stuff) 7200 rpm, and the Seagate Momentus 5400 rpm, compared to a classic 4200 rpm Toshiba disk. Also at : http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/storage/display/25-inch-roundup.html The same two disks, as well as a fujitsu disk and many Toshiba ones, altough the Travelstar mentioned there is not a 7200rpm one, but a 4200 rpm one. All in all, the Seagate momentus seems to offer very good power saving for a faster (5400 rpm) rotation speed and offering performance similar to the 7200 rpm ones. Friendly, Sven Luther
