    I am guessing that that HDD is a 7K100, right?

    If so can you please post a screen shot of a benchmark using HD TUNE.

    Thanx

    Cool, I have yet to find a review that tested this drive in a normal condition ... I bet it's faster than the 7K60, but 10MB/s is a bit too much I believe, that would be 33% boost :eek:

    Once you have it up and running let us know how the heat is on the left palm rest, because I'm thinking about getting a new harddrive and using my current one as an external.

    Cheers,
