I wanted to replace my HD in Lenovo X61s. I ordered a 320GB WD Scorpio Blue. It made the laptop vibrate too much. And the fan was coming on more, so I think there must have been more heat. I'm RMA'ing it. Did I get a lemon. Should I order another one?

I want a 5400rpm drive - my main concern is heat and vibration. I know a 4200rpm drive would be better for that, but I don't want the performance loss.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
