I have a Dell 600m right now with a 5.4k hdd in it. The HDD runs about 113F on average which is kinda warm considering my left wrist sits right on top of it.
I'm wondering how much warmer the 7.2k drives would be on average. 5F or so wouldn't be bad but 15F would be a bit much.
Also, how much more battery drain is there from the faster drives? I've read a few of the old discussions on here and there seems to be conflisting reports. Any reviews/roundups on laptop hdds to compare heat, battery drain etc?
