I am looking for a 1TB 2.5" HDD for my m11x. Then I stumbled upon this 1TB 7200rpm sata 6GB/s for about $200. I know normal 5400rpm 1Tb is like $90, but is this drive worth it do you think? I was earlier going for a 120gb SSD, but they are a bit too expensive and small for my needs. Not sure how this sata 6GB/s will improve speeds that much, but if it performs just a little over regular 7200rpm drives, then that's good enough for me.

It will not fit due to it being too thick.
Western digital and Samsung are the only two companies that make drives that fit our computers.
See this thread for the correct drives (not the drive in the first post, that wont fit)
