IMHO, I'd vote Hitachi, but I'd be hard pressed to use any drove of less than 5400rpm these days unless I absolutely had to.

I believe I had the MK4025GAS in my first laptop. It was pretty noisy

Thanks for the replys.
I also have a few older Toshibas here that are tost.
But i can get the 40gig for $40.00 cdn and the 60gig for $50.00 cdn.
I'm thinking if i cant get a 5400rpm drive i may just go for the 60gig and try to get it cheaper.

The Seagate Momentus series are very good. 5400 RPM, quiet & reliable. Size up to 160Gb.
Would not buy a 4200rpm drive anymore. 5400 is much faster and doesn't cost much more.
