hi, 
i own one of these t42p's. upgraded the hd last month to the hgst 100gb
7200.


mala:~# hdparm  -tT /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
 Timing cached reads:   2504 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1250.94 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  154 MB in  3.01 seconds =  51.09 MB/sec
(after gdm login, debian/gnome)


the result after "init 1" is almost the same:
/dev/hda:
 Timing cached reads:   2484 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1240.33 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  156 MB in  3.04 seconds =  51.39 MB/sec

greetings,
thomas

PS: the values for the buit-in hd (60gb, 7200) were - as i remember -
about 35 to 39 mb/sec.
