I researched this pretty exhaustively before I bought larger drives
for 2 laptops (Thinkpad 600E and Dell 8600). I got Hitachi 80G
drives, 5400 rpm. The 5400 rpm drives were a good compromise of
speed, power consumption and price. 7200 rpms are faster and cost
more. Everything I read prior to buying said that Hitachis are
good drives. No problems so far.
