    Does anyone know which make of 200GB HDD is used in the XPS M1330?

    As far as I can see the Hitachi Travelstar is the only drive that fits these specifications. Is this the one fitted to the 1330?

    To be honest, either will do. The Hitachi is apparently no slouch.

    The website says the 200GB 7200RPM option has 8MB of cache and Sata300. I wonder if this is accurate? The average latency matches the data sheet of the 7k200.

    Under the HD options, click on Help me choose, then Compare Side-by-Side.
