The hard drive in laptops are generally 4200 or at best 5400 rpm, it's a HUGE bottleneck especially for a us creative types with large scratch files.

I replaced my 80 gb 5400rpm with a 60 gb 7200 and the box flies.

Currently your only choice is from Hitachi and 60 gb is as big as they go.

Mine has been in almost a year and has been rock solid, surprisingly it's also on the quiet side.

Take your old drive and put it in an external portable enclosure.
