[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 922103, member: 24098"] I currently have 2 320GB 7200rpm drives, one Seagate and one WD. The Seagate is flakey and seems to be defective, but both are noticeably faster than the stock 5400rpm Fujitsu that was installed in this machine from the factory. The only advantage I can see in the 500GB 5400RPM drive would be battery life (but only marginally) and possibly heat and vibration (not terribly noticeable, even less so with the Seagate). [/QUOTE]
