    I was just wondering if anyone here had the Fujitsu S7020 model, and has upgraded thier hard drive from the stock fujitsu 5400 RPM SATA, to the newest Hitachi 7k100 7200 RPM SATA??? If so, is it a lot faster? Is it quiter or louder? Does it get more or less hot on the left side (where the hard drive is), after the upgrade? Thanks.

    The 7200RPM drives do run warmer. My 7k60 is pretty quiet for the most part. You should see a performance bump. Anything more hard drive intensive will be more noticeable.
