200G/7200rpm HDD performance in SZ680 CTO from SonyStyle?

Did anybody get SZ680 CTO from SonyStyle configured with 200GB 7200 rpm hard drive?

It looks like CTO from PortableOne come with Hitachi 7K200 which are great drives. As far as I know Sony uses Seagates.
How does Seagate (200G/7200) compare to Hitachi 7K200?
I could not find any Seagate benchmarks online.

Could anyone please post some info on the 200 gig HDD 7200rpm in your SZ680 from SonyStyle?

- model number/manufacturer
- HD Tune benchmarks
- hard drive noise / heat / temperature
- battery life (do you think it's much shorter than with 5400 rpm drives)

I am trying to decide if it's worth ordering 200G/7200rpm directly from SonyStyle or get SZ CTO with the smallest HDD and then swap it for the 7K200.

Thanks a lot.

The Hitachi 7K200 is the only one you want.

 

Yups, as much as I am a forestander for Seagate for desktop drives, the current best laptop drive you can get at the moment is that Hitachi (which is in my SZ6 model now runs like a charm)

 

Synthesia, did you build it in yourself?

If so, did you use any guide to do it?

 

Thanks. I saw that review too.
I am surprised nobody benchmarked the new 200G/7200 Seagate (ST9200420AS, ST9200420ASG) yet.

On paper it looks just like the 7k200 if not even better.

And I am still wondering which drive SonyStyle puts in SZ680 CTO?..
