My laptop harddrive just broke down today, I went to the stores (currently out of the U.S.) and found that Hitachi had stop making 7k60 already, and no 7200 rpm would be available before the 7k100 arrived (who knows when).
When is the next fastest harddrive I can get? It could be anything from 60-100GB, and I really can't wait any longer for the new drives. Thanks.
 
5400 seems to be the present "sweet spot" for lappy HDDs. I have about 6 of them - and have settled on the new Toshiba 100 GB, 5400 rpm with a 16 MB cache. It really does anice job - quiet - fast, and stay's cool.
 
Hmmm... I saw a couple of the Hitachi 7200 60GBs for sale yesterday doing a Pricewatch search (looking for another drive for mine).
