    Just upgraded the M65 from Hitachi 80GB 5400RPM to 200GB 7200RPM and thought I'd put up the HDTune results in case there's any interest.

    A little soon to tell, but it seems quite a bit faster (the benchmarking certainly looks a lot better) and is staying right around 39 - 40 C degrees.

    Additional detail: HITACHI Travelstar 7K200 HTS722020K9SA00 (0A50940) 200GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache Serial ATA150 Notebook Hard Drive - OEM.

    Yea it looks faster and I think it will be faster, the access time is where you are going to see it. Your old ones 26MB/s is bad the new 51MB/s is nice. My hitachi 5400 is 40MB/s so your old needed to be changed. My burst is higher than yours 89MB/s for what ever that is worth.
