    This review at Storage Reviews covers the common inquiries that most users have in mind: Speed, power, heat, noise ...

    It's been posted since quite a while, I wonder how I missed it till now :eek:

    I just ordered the 100GB 7k100. Be interesting if there is any noticeable difference between it and the 7k60 I have now.

    I bet there is, the numbers in abaxter's Dell review seem GOOOOOD.

    I am thinking of getting one too. Use it in this laptop, and put the 7K60 in whatever thin and light I end up with. I don't need much for the thin and light, anyway I was thinking 5400RPM would be enough for it.

    BTW who had it the cheapest? Avoid me the pricegrabber search :p

    I was actually going to go for the Seagate(cool and quiet and all that), but the cheapest I could get for three day or less shipping was $230 on ZZF. ChiefValue where I got the Hitachi was $193. The price on these seems to change daily. Might be worth a look when you do buy.
