Notebook HD replacement suggestions?

Post by Edward Yee »

Any particular models, brands, specs or stuff to ask (in-store) if I want to replace my current HP Pavilion dv1000 HD, lest it be dying? (60 GB, I think 5400rpm, heard what I think was it squeaking during failed power up attempts.)

Seagate and Hitachi make good mobile drives. They also offer 7200RPM drives for laptops.

No. Their power drain is more, but that that much more.
