Hello,
I have a T42p, so this may not apply, but...
I just recently upgraded to a Western Digital WD2500BEVE 250 GB 5400 RPM
ATA drive. While a bit slower than my Hitachi 7200 RPM, it uses about
half the power (0.55 A vs. 1.0 A) and is quieter. The larger capacity
per track makes the RPM slowdown barely noticeable.
Good Luck,
Don A
