I upgraded the 4200 rpm drive in my 12" PB to a 5400 RPM drive and noticed

with the larger cache and faster access, the drive is accessed less,

battery life, but have been delighted to have neither side effect.
Do they have larger than 60GB drives yet at 7200 rpm? I currently have an
80GB Hitachi TravelStar in my PowerBook and love the speed boost, and can
see upgrading again when Tiger comes out as I'll be doing a clean OS install
anyway.
