    i don't know about the rest of you but i found it very disappointing that i couldn't select a single 7200rpm hdd for my dv9500t.

    i believe they had a

    160GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
    240GB 5400RPM SATA Dual Hard Drive (120GB x 2)
    200GB 7200RPM SATA Dual Hard Drive (100GB x 2)
    320GB 5400RPM SATA Dual Hard Drive (160GB x 2)

    now, what is up with that??? i wanted just a single 7200rpm drive... i called and they could not accommodate my request.

    before you reply that i should get a dual....i didn't want a dual....

    Well apparently they do not have the option you want.

    Just get two hard drives and set them up for RAID 1 you should get near 7,200rpm performance and your data is backed up.
