Best Laptop Hard Drive?

[BChico]

What are the best/fastest laptop harddrives out right now?

Looks like the WD Scorpio Black is pretty decent: Text

Any other good options?

The Scorpio Black 320GB/7200 is about at the top of the laptop food chain right now. But the Scorpio Blue 500GB/5400 is kicking some butt, and if you need space, it probably wins.

I am at 100GB now, so it will take me awhile to fill up 320GB on my work machine. By then there will probably be something better...

Thanks

the Hitachi 7K320 is also good

Seagate has a new 500gb 7200rpm drive (Momentus 7200.4) coming out that is attracting a lot of attention

then there are always SSDs like the Intel X25-M

yup money no object intel ssd is damn amazing.
otherwise go for the highest data per platter for best speed.
