    Does anyone know if the 5400 RPM hard drives that HP uses are perpindicular? I can't seem to locate the mfg of the drives to compare specs. I am considering the DV9500t and trying to decide between the 2x100GB at 7200RPM or 2x160GB at 5400RPM. I will be doing mostly image editing, watching movies and possibly messing around with home movies.

    Any input would be appreciated.
