All of my T4x, T6x, and X6x laptops have had 7200rpm drives as options
officially supported by IBM/Lenovo, and I am currently using the
latest Seagate Momentus 7200.3 320MB drive with built-in anti-shock
protection (which means you don't have to have a battery-draining
daemon waking up CPU multiple times per second).  I've not had any
problems whatsoever; in fact, I've been quite pleased with the
performance and power draw.
