Eric,
I have a Toshiba P25 S607 with 17" LCD that came with a 60 gig 5400 rpm drive.
Had 512 Megs memory. I purchased TWO Travelstar 60gigs from Newegg, replaced
the OEM drive in the laptop with the 7200 Hitachi. The result was a BIG
difference according to numerous benchmarks numerically, and in actual use.
Much faster in all regards. They are excellent!
I took the other Travelstar, and put it into an external enclosure from Newegg
and I backup once (clone) each 4-6 days using Acronis True Image. Should the
drive in the laptop fail, I just physically swap the one from the enclosure and
I am IMMEDIATELY back up and running. I have performed the "what if" at least 4
times and it works flawlessly.

Thanks. I think I will order a 60gig tonight. I keep most my downloads
(programs, plus 2-3 versions back.), MS-DVR's (No Russ, not p*rn, Media Center
Recorded files (Scrub's, The Simpson's, House M.D., Boston Legal if they are
keepers)) on a ext. HD.
Thank you,
Eric Vogel

Travelstars have always been good - made originally by IBM, now Hitachi for
IBM.

I know this means more battery drain and heat for it, but would I see
more if I went to a 80 gig?
I can live with a 60 gig .
