I went to best buy and saw this. No need to deal with rebates etc. Man if this was 7200rpm this would be smoking hot.

Any idea if you void a notebook's warranty by swapping out the hard drive?

They won't cover HDD failure of course, but rest is fine. Seagate has a 5 year warranty.

Is there a seal on the cover, if there isn't how are they going to know? I do it to my laptops all the time and put away the original hard drive (keep it though).
