    WT611 HARD DRIVE..., 200GB, FREE FALL SENSOR..., 9.5, 7.2K, SGT-GAL

    I got my replaced 2nd m1530 cause the HDD was so damn loud. I've heard that Seagates are the best. Can anyone confirm that this is a Seagate. Here's what is says in my invoice (it shipped out today):

    I dunno, but if it's fast and quiet, then who cares who made it? Anyways, you can check it when you receive the laptop.

    I assume "SGT" means Seagate?

    SGT= Seagate WD= Western Digital. In the BIOS there's a section where you can control the HD performance and if you choose "Performance" it says it'll run faster but might generate more noise. I've choose "Performance" but didn't hear any unusual noises, the drive was still quiet. I set it back to original specs due to it might lessen battery power.
