    Hi!
    Based on this review for 500gb notebook hard drives:
    http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/mobile-hdd-notebook,2305-14.html

    I consider taking :
    Fujitsu MJA2500BH-G2 500GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache 2.5"

    or

    TOSHIBA MK5055GSX 500GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache 2.5"

    The + of the fujitsu hd, more good performance from the toshiba.
    The - is that there is only one user review in newegg, and I didn't find more user reviews. So, I cant reslly know if the hard drive have clicking problem, get warm or make noise/vibration.

    The Toshiba hd, have more reviews, and based on reviews it don't make noise and don't get warm, but it have low performance compare to the fujitsu hd.

    I really prefer to avoid WD hard drives because based on the review, it consume more power and it more warm from other hard drives.

    The MOST important thing to me in the hard drive - LOW TEMP.
    It sucks for me, to fell heat in my hands hile writing with the keyboard.
    (SDD not relevant for me right now because the high cost)

    What do you say?

    Thank you!
