7200rpm Lappy Harddisks Are A Gift

I honestly don’t know what I did without a 7200rpm drive in my laptop. The performance over a 4200rpm is phenominal for no notiable audio or irradiation difference. I haven’t tested battery life yet, but the disk reads merely needing 0.1A over the old Travelstar, so I doubt it’ll impact that much either.

Now having bought it I don’t honestly know why I put it off for so long. The Hitachi Travelstar that used to be in it was probably the best harddisk I’ve ever owned with regards to reliability, despite its speed, so the new Travelstar in it should hopefully be even better. I honestly can’t fathom a concept as to why people complained about the excessive noise or heat output from 7200 drives in laptops they claim to have experienced. I can only hypothesise that it is merely medium specific.
