While that is certainly true, i have an older normal hitachi drive for some time now in an net4801 now (about a year in the 4801, and before that about 2 1/2 years in my laptop before that). (i do use a E7K drive on another device for more important data however). so you have to decide if the extra affort is worth it (though depending on where you buy it it may not be much more expensive (when i bouth the E7K100 it was about 15€ more than a normal laptop drive of the same size).
