I've got the Seagate 100GB and it's a nice model - esp. so given their 5
year warranty (best in the market, in the USA anyways). Solid product and I'm
satisfied with them.
Keep in mind that you should also look at each drive's power ratings for
spin up, read, write, and sleep. The drives that use more will result in
shorter battery life, but perhaps in exchange for faster performance. It will
be something to keep in mind.
Also, drives that use more power in these operations tend to run hotter.
www.tomshardware.com and others sites have good reviews on 100GB HDs.
Myself, I'd go with the Seagate or Toshiba, if not a Hitachi/IBM. Right
now, I go with Seagate drives because of their long warranties (not that the
drives won't fail, but at least I get a brand-new replacement in 5 years if
they do fail for any reason).
