I'm looking at the Hitachi Travelstar series, are they as quick as a decent USB 2.0 external drive? I need a drive capable of fast sustained write speeds for my laptop, at the moment I'm using a external 3.5" drive but if I could use an internal 2.5" drive it would be a lot tidier option.

Hey, long time no see. How and where have you been?
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus -
What size of drive do you need? If you can get away with (and afford) solid state (flash), go that way... they're getting remarkably cheaper. Even 32GB is manageable nowadays.<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

Hi Alva,
I had my Poly account suspended due to a bad Email address (entirely my fault) and didn't get around to re-activating it until a week or so ago. Seems to be getting quieter around here these days?
Snoopy,
Cheers for the heads up, I hadn't heard of solid state. Got a link please? I think I could possibly get way with 30-40 Gig, the speed is the important thing not so much the capacity.Comment

Snoppy,
I can't see how I'm going to link one of those to a laptop? The problem I have is that the external drive I'm using now is just good enough but a little messy to setup 'in the field', so I'd like to find a setup that kept the fast storage inside the laptop. Easier setup, less wires, power leads etc.Comment
