You might want to add this is a 2.5" mobile drive in the title. Otherwise most will never look.

You also may want to consider dividing up the links with headers for "320gb" and "250gb" - that'd be nice

Thanks OP. Was getting tired of waiting for Buy.com to get some in stock, so just grabbed one!

Are you guys going for the 320gb at ZZF?


I'm tempted to get one for my 'future' laptop. Still looking for that laptop though... :T Wonderin if I should just wait or jump. I got 4gb of SODIMM memory from the Fry's deal recently. I feel so "UGH" about the recent laptop deals - most of them are like borderline warm

All of these are misadvertised as having G-Force protection, which is only available on the ASG part numbers
I was hoping the forums were wrong and the stores were right but a salesperson confirmed it.

I think ST9320421AS 320G is nice if you want to put it in your current laptop. It was ranked No.1 buy Tom's Hardware review in August. If you care more about the shock-resistant property, maybe ST9320421ASG or T9250421ASG are better choices since they are only a few bucks more than the ones without "G" mark.

For "future" laptop, maybe SSD hdds are better when they are cheaper. But who knows when that day comes?

The one ST9250421ASG from Buy.com should have G-Force protection. For myself, I'm still waiting for those with ST9320421ASG.

I need to upgrade my laptops HDD. It's currently a 160Gb SataII 7200. This 320Gb @7200 is very tempting at under $100 but I'm not sure if I should grab it now or hold off a little bit...DECISIONS DECISIONS!

Drive manufacturers are abandoning 7200RPM in the 2.5" form factor hence the large number of recent of low priced 2.5 7200RPM laptop drive deals as manufacturers and distributors dump their stock. Don't wait too long or you will be SOL. Discontinued drive prices tend to soar when new production is not available.

Wait, why are they discontinuing them? And what is the replacement? 5400's?

Thanks for the tip: cnIsfg I decided to go ahead and bit because I was on the fence. This is going to be a nice boost for this machine. I currently have a 160gb 8mb cache @ 5400.

As posted above SSD for performance and 5400 for mainstream use. Plus real world performance upgrading from a 5400RPM to a 7200RPM is not as signification as many think and the extra power consumption, extra heat generated, and subsequent problems related to those two has prompted some major OEMs like HP to already pull 7200RPM laptop drives from their mainstream product notebook line as options.

Thanks for the advice. Jumped based on it... great, now I have 4gb of ram and a 320gb 2.5" sata drive coming that I don't have a laptop for... YET. Considering the IBM Ideapad S10.

The netbook rage is ridiculous!
