    I heard that Hitachi's Travelstar 7k200 is the fastest notebook harddrive i can currently get.

    Unfortanetly it is onle being sold in 200GB in The Netherlands. I'd like something smaller.

    Is there another harddrive that comes close to this Hitachi?

    There are various sizes of the 7k200 available at Komplett (whom, I believe also serve the Netherlands).

    Alternatively, the 250GB 5400rpm HDDs come close on data transfer rates but are behind on access times.

    Somehow it did not show up in the price comparison websites.

    Thank you.
