    Has someone put a 7200rpm in his ZX5000? Does this work? No heat problems?

    There is no reason this should not work, the new 7200 rpm drive of today are more power efficent than the slower drives designed a few years ago. I upgraded the 60GB 4200rpm drive in my thinkpad to a 60GB 7200 rpm and it doe not get any hotter or reduce the battery life at all as far as I can tell.
