    I have offer for t400 with 250GB 5400rpm HDD.
    Doubt to leave this or buy something better, with 7200rpm. Which one? What about WD Scorpio?!
    :confused:

    A SSD should provide for the best performance but at a higher price or if you dont mind going with lower capacity versions. If you are looking for regular HDD's then the WD Scorpio black( 320GB 7200 rpm) is one of the fastest ones out there.

    There are some more suggestions for the T400 here...
