I know nothing about this drive, and didn't bother to check to see if it would work. I know that the RPM could be an issue.

HOWEVER, for $128 each, wtf right? Go here for info:

Perhaps a better choice would be this guy.

It is the slower (preferred --less heat) 4200 RPM drive (I think it's 4200, is that right?) IBM Travelstar. He shipped mine very quickly, and it was exactly as described. Brand new, 3 year IBM warranty, he has more than 40 of them left.
