I have an older IBM Laptop (R51) and want to replace the 5400rpm drive in it with a faster 7200rpm drive. What is the fastest 2.5" 7200rpm PATA drive out there? Either the Seagate Momentus 7200.1 or the Hitache 7k100 I guess? Or are there newer 5400rpm drives that I should be looking at?
The drive in it right now is a 5400rpm Toshiba MK4032GAX.
[spoiler][/spoiler]It is useless to upgrade to 7200 with that grandmotherboard of yours ... Just allow your old laptop to age gracefully... Help her change lightbulbs when asked..
Why reply to a year old question?
Surely, he has taken action by now.

He asked a technical question, you responded like a smart-ass.
