    I'm shopping around for a second HDD (2.5 inch form factor) for my Lenovo R400 to fit review of the drives available today. into my ultrabay and was wondering if anyone could provide me with some advice or links to reviews of available hard drives.

    Your help would be appreciated.

    How do you define best? If you remove your DVD drive, you can fit in the WD 2.5" 12.5mm height 1TB drive, which is the largest drive around. The fastest drive is the single platter Hitachi 250GB 7K500.
