Mine is a P3-700 I certainly noticed the difference when I upgraded from a IBM 4200 20g to a Seagate 5400 rpm 40g drive of course Dell said that it couldn't shouldn't be done but I did it anyway that was about a year ago now. --+-- Wayne D.

Re: [H] Notebook drive
Don't do that! Why? Because you'll put some poor Indian out of work! Oh well, let em go back to making sword canes carpets. LOL. I did mine few months back and it's definitely not worse than before! Dunno about batt life as I tend to run plugged in. Wayne Johnson wrote: At 05:13 PM 4/20/2005, JRS typed: Definately.

While I never timed my batt life before when I was running the 4200 I haven't noticed any decrease in battery life with the 5400 at all either and it's all variable depending on what one is doing so as long as it's in runs it's probably within acceptable parameters for the end user but as always YMMV. ;-) --+-- Wayne D.
