I'm considering replacing the HDD in my Z60m with a 100GB/7200. Anyone have suggestions as to which one to pick?

Thx,
David

I would go with the Hitachi 100GB 7200RPM HDDs; reliable, high-performance, and pretty quiet.

Would you expect the system to be noticably faster with this HDD?

Thx.

Thanks for the HDD recommendation.

Can someone recommend software for imaging the disk from my C: drive? Thx.

Acronis True Image. Fantastic, easy to use, and reliable.

Is it true that you have to use an SATA drive? I am not too versed in notebook drives; I know there is SATA & ATA-6. On the Lenova web site the replacement drives are SATA. Would an ATA-6 work as well, or are the pins/connector different, etc.? Thanks!

You have to use SATA drives for it since the Z60m uses SATA drives.
