there aren't options. 7200rpm is as fast as it gets with notebook drives, and hitachi is the only game in town. the 100gb drives are brand new, prior to that we were stuck with 60gb. seagate has entered the market with a 100gb 7200rpm notebook drive, but it's slower than the 7k100, costs more, and is scarcely available. if you search for 7200rpm notebook drives everywhere all you'll find are the 7k60 and 7k100.
