    Nice to have all the benchmarks of the "big" laptop disks in one place.

    Still haven't seen any benchmarks of the Seagate Momentus 200GB 7200rom drives. Is the travelstar still faster?

    Have a rummage through this thread and then tell us what is still missing. However, I attach a couple of 250GB 5400rpm plots to give you something to start with.

    I checked out MFG specs, They are the same (almost) no real difference! Seagate gives the useless 5 year warranty Hitachi does not.
