    Being curious - installed one program for testing hdd (i guess hddlife or whatever) and it shows me temperature - 47*C and 60% health and 60% performance - what does it mean>? is something wrong? I dont hear any bad sounds or dont see any big difference in performance!?

    Have you defragged or scanned it recently? Perhaps its time for a system restore.

    Yeah ... i did. After scan i had temperature - 61*C , but checked it with NB probe - there was no alerts(S.M.A.R.T. checking is fine), just alerts on the other software i checked it with. I probably will restore it, but i want to partition it the way i want and having only restore cd - i cant ;(

    I dont know the program that you used but it could be that it is measuring performance compared to some standard 3,5" desktop drive and the notebook drive is slower.
    The tempratures you state are a bit higher then what I would expect but still not worrying.
