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,

Chris,
I personally recommend the 5400rpm drives from Toshiba, GAX models. They are
good performers and are pretty durable.
Other manufactures such as Western Digital, Seagate and Fujitsu also make
5400 rpm drives. These drives are not as popular or have the reliability as
the Toshiba drives.
I notice those GAX series have 16 meg cache's now too.
Plus I found 2 Hitachi 7200 rpm laptop drives, but not sure how reliable
they are since they are not IBM Travelstar's any longer.
Tim, do you know which would help more, 16 meg cache, or 7200 rpm speed?
Chris,

It depends on the cache algorithm. On desktop drives, I've read that WD
has the best algorithm, so their 8MB cache outdoes a lot of other 16MB caches.

The Toshiba Laptops are not made well. I do not like the shell and the
hinges. The hard drives are good. I do not see many in the shop for
recovery, if they are here there usually recoverable.

I have an SLI motherboard, it's an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe. I have a generic
video card that only supports one DVI. I'm adding a second flat panel. If
I add a second PCI Express video card, can I run dual monitor? Or does the
second video card only do processing?(for increased FPS in games)? Or
If I partition a drive, does it start from the outside track or the
inside? Will I get a better speed with a partition on an outside
track? I'm using the drive for hard drive recording, so overall throughput
is key, according to what I've read.

I think people will find this funny.

A 6600GT would be a good match for an old PC like that. @:)

Well, the price difference isn't all that much (~$20 or so).
Besides, the 6600 is kind of slow ( 9800 Pro IIRC).

Hi Henrik,
Thank you very much for the response. I really don't care about the SLI.
I'm not that into gaming. I'm mainly just concerned about the dual
displays. However, if I'm reading this correctly it sounds pretty cool.
Could I use both video cards together, in SLI mode, to output a game on
Pentium 3-M era chipsets (i830 and ICH3?) should be more than capable of
running the 7K100. Just make sure to get the PATA version. :)

That's the idea :) Just have to setup the dual displays in the Display Manager
correctly. You probably want to use Dual View
