I'm looking to replace my internal hard drive in my laptop. One is a 160gig at 5400RPMs versus a 100gig at 7200RPMs they are both around the same price.

Which is better? Having a little more speed or a little more memory???

go for the 100gb drive :thumbsup

Most people think that faster is better...I'm not sure, especially when the disk dies

try them both

Extra speed is nice, but it uses more power. I can't imagine needing 160GB on a laptop though.

Okay. That wasn't helpful.

bigger is better :thumbsup

Just put them both in. :1orglaugh

I'd pick the 100 Gb one.

I would go with the 100gig

100gig at 7200RPMs ftw

160... lower rpm means less heat

I don't think the picture was really necessary...

I'd go with the bigger drive

Go for the better speed hard drive.

faster is better :thumbsup

yes, absolutely! in the my laptop is the big 100GB HDD in the slow 4200 RPM and i need the bigger one, go for the 160GB, every free available space rocks!

id go with whichever one is made by seagate.

I'll go with the speed.

Go with the 160gb. You'll fill up the extra space soon enough and may not notice a whole lot of difference with the extra speed of the 100. On the other hand, if you save everything to an external disk, go with the 100 and keep the speed of that drive.
