    1TB laptop HDD 7200 RPM


    I'm looking to spend up to $200 on a new hard drive for my laptop. My laptop can only take one HDD at a time unless I remove my optical drive and being that I play games on this thing, that is not happening. I tend to download a lot and a 500 GB HDD which came with my laptop is just not enough. I do not want a 5200 or 5400 RPM HDD, I want a 7200 RPM.

    Newegg does not have what I'm looking for this time.     Being that there are 3TB HDDs for desktops, I'd think that there would exist somewhere a 1 TB 7200 RPM drive.

    That 1tb and 7200 rpm combination is the problem, you can get either but not both together currently.

    I'll just wait until such a drive is made then. I hope they aren't too far off.

    Just a thought sine your looking for better performance in other posts.
    Why not when one comes out getting a ssd for your OS and apps you use most of the time and the other as a external drive for storage?

I have a question. I know a 7200 RPM SATA hard drive is supposedly faster than a 5400 RPM SATA hard drive. And an I5-430 is faster than a I3-330m. But is an I5-430 with 5400 RPM hard drive worth $100 more than an I3-330 with a 7200 RPM? Or in other words, is the performance improvement of the...
