Hi All, I am not really a hardware buff but seem to be getting limited joy finding a decent 2.5" SATA 250GB 7200RPM drive to add to my Alienware laptop which currently only has a 120GB drive [1]. It seems that there are plenty 3.5" running at 7200RPM but when you find a 2.5" of equivalent size the speeds drop to 5400RPM - is there a reason for this? Can anyone recommend a suitable drive Fujitsu or WD preferred but will take on board any recommendations? Up until now I have used Fujitsu drives which have proved very reliable but my portable one is about to crap out on me and for the minute I am going to chuck another drive into my laptop. The 2.5" Fujitsu I would have gone for [1] doesn't seem to be available until end of May. Any recommendations/advice would be appreciated.
