    Anyone running a 7200rpm drive in their 751? Any heat issues?

    Also, is it even worth going 7200rpm when I read in another post that the transfer speeds are slow anyway?

    Oh yeah, my first post... Hi all!

    I've passed on my HP 2133 Mini-note to my partner and I've defected to the 751 for battery life... :D

    I installed a Western Digital Scorpio Black 320GB 2.5" 7200 RPM Hard Disk in mine without any issues. Haven't run any benchmarks (wife won't give me it back :) ) but its not slower.

    I read in another thread that there is a PATA to SATA converter, so the bottleneck would probably be there. Seems to me it wouldn't matter how fast a hard drive you put in, the PATA interface to the motherboard would slow down transfer speeds.
