Is there a "sweet spot" hard drive anybody might suggest? I was planning on stepping up to SSD for the X220, but I'm a bit reluctant to put an SSD in the older X61s.
I have 100GB/7200rpm drive in now, but a somewhat recent interest in photography has chewed through a decent chunk of my capacity. Are there any particular drives that I should most closely consider?
