Who makes your 100GB 5400RPM HD?

Hey guys!

Just ordered my E1705 from the outlet and Im thinking about ordering a 7200rpm SATA Seagate unless the 100gigs that come with the E1705 are Hitachi's Travelstar 7K100. I hear these are great performers and keep up with the 7200rpm drives.

So my question is who makes your 100gig 5400rpm SATA Hard drive?

Thanks for your help!

the 7k100 keeps up with 7200 rpm dirves because it is a 7200 rpm drive.

I ordered my Laptop with a 100Gb 5400rpm 8Meg Cache HDD. The drive I received was a Fujitsu. It works fine.

Thanks for the input all. Im going to go ahead and order an 80gig 7200rpm and do the swap

PS. If anyone is looking to buy a very slightly used 100gig I know one for sale

Mines a Toshiba. Does the job. Im first into every CS: Source server whenever there's a map change. So it must be fast enough.
