For me, the hitachis are far more reliable and longer lasting and quieter.
Without reservation.

I bought a Hitachi 7K200 from bestbuy for $169 plus tax, it includes a upgrade kits and clone softwares ($ 30 value), which makes the upgrade supper easier. Plus you can use your old HD as an external USB HD by using the kits.

It is running smoother and quieter, and not hot too, the battery is about 1/6 more usage than mine old setting tho.

I like the choice i made so far.
