I had thought about getting a 7,200 RPM drive replacement myself, but
someone told me it would give it much less battery life. I know the
R3000s aren't super portables, but I do manage to get a couple of hours
out of mine, generally enough to be useful in airports and such.
Have you noticed a big drop in run time on battery using a 7K drive?
Thank you for sharing this with us, Matthew.
How about the noise of the 7200 rpm drive? I've thinking about getting
the Hitachi 100 GB 7200 rpm drive. I read somewhere (I think it was
Tom's Hardware) that the 7200 rpm drives are kind of noisy.

PS. Although I have not tested it recently, my battery should last over
three hours if I dim the display, even if I use the wifi a bit. I have
the high-capacity battery.
