    Yo Techies is this Notebook HD Good?

    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1095432668959


    Seagate Momentus 100.0GB Internal Ultra ATA/100 Hard Drive for Notebooks

    Model: ST9100823A



    Get the most out of your laptop with a hard drive that works hard for you by using less battery power and delivering more speed.


    100.0GB maximum storage capacity


    Ultra ATA/100 interface


    Ideal for notebook PCs, tablet PCs and other devices requiring a 2.5" hard drive

    Compared to the stock 30 giger i have from Dell for Inspiron 8500

      There is a 60 or 80GB one with 7200 rpm. If that size is enough for you, get that because it's faster

          Meh... It only has 5400rpm.

          See if you can opt for a 7200rpm HD, you'll notice the difference for sure.

                  Its a good HDD.. they commented that its gonna be slower than a 7200rpm, true, but the hdd ur dell came with is probably a 5400, also with a 7200rpm ur gonna notice less battery life and more heat..

                              Hitachi makes GREAT laptop harddrives (I find them quieter and less hot than the other harddrives).

                              Except, I think the highest capacity goes up to 60GB for a 7,200rpm.

                              If you want more storage, then you'll have to opt for a lower spindle speed.

                              The other alternative would be to use an external harddrive.

                                  I prefer a 7200 rpm hdd in my notebook (60 Gb installed by the manufacturer in a Dell Inspiron 8600). Fast enough for video editing. My external hdd are 7200 rpm too. I wouldn't buy a slower drive in any computer nowadays. What's the point- to save a few bucks?

                                          5400 rpm's is not fast enough.

                                              Good choice.

                                              I bought that too for my new i6000d that I got with the -$750 offer.
