    Does anyone know of any reviews about the new Seagate 80GB and 100GB 7200 rpm hard drives and if I can swap it into my Dell 6000D

    I also was wondering if I can put the SATA HD with the Sonoma chip?

    Last I heard Seagate's 7200RPM HDDs were not out yet.

    As for SATA on a sonoma. It depends on the design of the laptop since sata and pata have different connectors.

    I think I can safely say that the dell i6000 will not take a sata HDD. Sata notebooks are just begining to appear.
