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.
