    I wanted to buy this
    Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9500420AS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive
    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produc...4&cm_re=2.5_hard_drive-_-22-148-374-_-Product

    can the m860tu run the 500gb 7200 HDD with no problem? I currently have a 320gb 5400 and its full. So if its possible I wanted to remove my 320gb and replace it with 500GB. and put the 320gb in a external enclosure case.
    I just wonder if they are louder and do the clunk clunk sound lol

    I'm not sure if it's louder, but I believe reading somewhere that the 7200RPM hard drives run cooler than the 5400RPM ones.
