In the end, the Hitachi Travelstar 7K200 blows away the competition by margins seldom seen in the hard drive world. Though it does not come cheaply, the Travelstar's showing is so superior to that of any other drive's that it stands as the only choice for those striving to attain true desktop-level performance from a portable system.

Grats on your 5400rpm hd.(Possibly 4200rpm?)
This is for a 200gb 7200rpm 16mb cache drive.

As the op stated, it is over 30% less than the cheapest drive of this kind you can get anywhere.
Deal is hot.

YES! Scored the last one in NYC (5th ave) with a DTG serial #. The girl even let me use the 10% off coupon. It didn't scan, so she put it thru manually. But the receipt reads "200gb 5400 PATA 2.5" external". If you connect it via USB first, will the proprties say "7k200" or 7200 and SATA before I open it up just to confirm?
