Getting a 100GB 5400RPM replacement HD for my W3N - problems?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Hi! I'm thinking of selling the slow 4200RPM 60GB drive and going for a 5400RPm 100GB drive instead. I'm thinking of the Seagate Momentus 5400.2 100GB. It's probably a good deal faster than the current Hitachi drive, while providing much more (and much needed!) space. So a few questions:

1. Are there any known problems with popping in another drive or is it pretty much trouble free?

2. The drive in the W3N uses the regular IDE interface, right?

3. Heat? There doesn't really seem to be any notable differences between notebook drives of different RPMs, but I might as well ask of your opinions.

I'm probably going to put 1GB RAM in this thing when I'm changing the drive, so there should be a quite notable speedup across the board...

I have the same version of that drive in my Z70V, only in 80gb. It's a pretty good drive. Much quieter than the Toshiba 5400rpm that I had in my old computer. My HD temps hover in the mid to upper 40's....
