Title: 2.5" hard drive opinions.. I recently purchased a Seagate 5400 RPM, 100 GB. They have $30 off from buy.com, if the rebate is still valid.   All in all, it's a very good drive, but maybe this is too much for your PC. I got a USB2.0 case for the drive, so the drive remains external.

You might want to think about a 7200rpm drive. Hitachi and Seagate make laptop-sized 7200 RPM hdds; they cost more than their slower siblings. I've had good luck with 60 and 80 GB Hitachis. Tom's Hardware Guide provides some guidance. http://www.tomshardware.com/storage/harddrives/index.html

I've decided to upgrade the HDD in my notebook for my Debian install, and it looks to me like 100GB is about the best value for money at the moment... There isn't much difference in price, and I havn't found much in the way of reviews online, so I thought I would ask to see if anyone on this list
