Though Hitachi's Travelstar 7K200 rules the roost when it comes to notebook drives, other offerings bring greater capacity to the table. Two such units, Hitachi's own 250-gigabyte Travelstar 5K250 and Western Digital's 320-gigabyte Scorpio WD3200BEVT, offer more storage at a more sedentary spindle speed. How much performance does one sacrifice? What other benefits does this pair of drives bring to the table? StorageReview takes a look!

including the Samsung M5S/P 160GB single platter drive would have also been interesting in this comparison...

That would require getting a sample from Samsung... :P

The 5K250 (typo, Eugne?) looks pretty sweet actually, especially at the price...
