I found this chart from Tom's hardware :

You can compare a lot of 2 1/2 inch drives in performances and power consumption. Very usefull ! 7K200 is missing...

Your link points towards "Maximum power consumption". This is during spin-up. Probably one of the least interesting benchmarks for a laptop hdd (for how long does it need that power? Energy = Power * Time). Only interesting for server hdds, to make sure that your raid doesn't cause a brown-out when you switch it on.

What are you using this HD for? looks like your already running a 7200 rpm on your t60, is this going to be your main HD or an extra. Are you running seriously complex apps or what.

I don't plan to change mine. Those charts are usefull for everyone who cares about performances and/or consumption and want to upgrade his ThinkPad hard disk drive.
