Did it decrease the battery life at all? How about vibration or
anything inside the laptop? I have a Compaq x1000 and I am very happy
with my purchase. I have been thinking about getting a 5400 or 7200
drive for it since the 60GB is a little slow and I am starting to run
out of room.

Subject: [H] Looking for Laptop Drive recommendation
We have a device which uses laptop sized drives (2.5" form facter) and we
need to find a high performance drive for one customer. (We're running
into serious IO bottlenecks. Can anyone recommend a fast drive?
Thanks,

No idea as to the overall reliability of the Hitachi Travelstar..
Bought 2 laptops last year, one for myself, one for my son. P4's. But couldn't
believe how slow they felt compared to our desktops systems with older hardware.
Until I realized that the new laptops had 5400 rpm drives.
Replaced both drives last year with the Hitachi 7200 rpm... Made a huge
real-world difference. Have had no problems with either drive in a year..
