[QUOTE="techiesteve, post: 1550621, member: 98520"] Seagate have just announced a Samsung 2TB 9.5mm 5400 rpm 2.5" hard drive. As the announcement was only made on the 6th of this month I suspect they will be in short supply, plus the largest drives may initially command premium prices. Seagate no longer manufacture 7200 rpm 2.5" drives, their SSHD drives are intended to fill that market sector. Toshiba now make 2.5" SSHD drives, but they are their first SSHD product. Seagate have more experience, having previously made 7200 rpm SSHD drives, now their new models are 5400rpm but still fast. I'm just about to try one in my late 2009 15" MBP. The WD Black 1TB 7200 2.5" HD drive is a reliable efficient drive with a good warranty, 5 years in the UK. [/QUOTE]
