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.

cool cool let me check for 7200 rpm

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..

all i see for notebooks from seagate are 5400 rpm

Hitachi makes em at 7200 rpm

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?

I am getting the Hitachi 7K60 60gb :)

5400 rpm's is not fast enough.

Good choice.

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