We've had performance charts for 3.5" desktop hard drives. Today we extend this service and include 2.5" notebook hard drives.

Is it just me, or does the link in the original article go to the 3.5" drive chart page?

Also, the link back to the original article is broken - it points to the com.com domain!

same thing here. and page 3/3 is nothing but ads. quality control is really slipping around here.

EDIT: looks like the proper link has been added, but the last page is still: Shop for the latest Hard Drives :roll:

I'm upgrading to either the Seagate Momentus 7200.1 or the Hitachi 7K100, two apparently quite similar ATA/100 drives. Any strong pros or cons for one or the other?

I would recommend a perpendicular drive such as the Seagate ST980815a. This is the ATA/100 version of the ST980811as (SATA) which is on the chart. It's a 5400rpm drive with performance nearly that of a 7200. Better bang for the buck than a 7200rpm and it'll have lower power draw and produce less heat. It's only 80GB but I got around that by putting my old drive in an extremely portable 2.5" enclosure (it's powered solely by USB), so I have 140GB available. ...though if money is burning a hole in your pocket you should get the 160GB version.
