    I'm getting my E6400 delivered tomorrow and i'm replacing the 80gb HDD with a 250gb one.
    Any ideas about which brand works best in the E6400? Hitachi, Seagate, any other? It doesn't necessarily have to be 7200rpm but it does need to have freefall sensor or something similar.

    7200 RPM, free fall sensor, low power consumption, quiet.

    Have one in the 2nd HDD caddy on my E6400.

    If you can find it, the Hitachi single platter 250GB 7K500 drive is the fastest SATA HDD for notebooks.
