Why the hype for 7200 RPM 100 GB harddrives? Aren't 100 GB 5400 RPM harddrives better performers than 60 GB 7200?

Its a Fxxxxxx joke , waiting 12months+ for stupid HDD.
They come with Momentus 5400.2 about the same time & they all ready on the market few months .

dude, it's all marketing hype man...they can't immediately come out with the 7200rpm when they came out with the 5400rpm, that would be shooting themselves in the foot. i bet you will find larger 5400rpm at the same time they get around distributing the 100gb 7200rpm.

Close , but faster will be Momentus 7200.1 with Serial ATA ( 150MB/s ) for now http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/mark...tus_7200-1.pdf
I did not find any 2,5" HDD on IDE or SATA with 10000 rpm.
We have to wait few more years .

I don't give damn about it
Still 7200rpm gonna cost a min $xx more then 5400rpm & not everybody gonna spend $xx more for faster HDD on same size thought
Fujitsu got 120GB HDD for notebooks all ready , but only 4200rpm. http://www.fcpa.fujitsu.com/products...fications.html

Lucky me i got his beast & 200GB inside ( can go up to 500GB now ) , but my GPU is kinda outdate & i thought about get something , but they got no HDD for me & i need at least 100GB & 7200rpm or nada.

dude, why don't you save yourself a D and just write HD for hard drive...isn't it redundant to say hard disk drive? next thing you are going to tell me is that there isn't a santa

HDD is the industry standard abbreviation. HDD = Hard disk drive, FDD = Floppy Disk Drive. Plus HD is already taken by High Definition.

not true, HD for hard drive...who the hell says HD for high definition? who makes these silly rules? and how can it be industry standard when the industry long writes hard drive rather than hard disk drive and abbreviates using HD rather than HDD? when was the last time you saw someone write out hard disk driver rather than hard drive?

Go grab an A+ book, or any computer manual and a whole new world of HDD will greet you. What do you call High Definition? HDTV, HDDVD, what do you think the HD stands for? Hard Drive Television?

exactly my point re: high definition: HDTV, HDDVD etc...but if you do a search and read anything besides A+ book one D falls off...damn useless additional D...from hereonout I will never buy anything that refers to a hard drive as HDD...that's like those dual density floppy discs.

i read computer manuals and they have HD, i read reviews and they say HD, i read hard drive manufacturer websites and they use HD..i think your A+ book gets an F

The funniest thing is you have probably typed about 1000 extra letters explaining why you should save yourself the hassle of writing an extra D in HDD...
