    i would imagine you could get a 5.9 with 2 7200 rpm high density drives in a raid 0. so probably any laptop that supports 2 hard drives (dells vostro 1700 or 1720 for example). Other manufacturers make them too. I think even one has a 3 drive system.

    I had two 7K100's in my laptop and they score a 5.9 in raid 0. with only one drive in the system I still got a 5.8.
    Now with dual 7K200's I get 5.9, but I switched back to Xp, as its a far superior operating system.

    What about single drive? So the Hitachi one is the best?
