I've got an old Dell 5000e that I'm trying to squeeze another year of
life out of. I replaced the old 4200 rpm HD with a Seagate Momentus
40G 5400 rpm a year ago, which failed and was replace with a Toshiba
40G 5400 rpm drive a few months back, which then failed and was
replaced with the warranty Seagate replacement.
It looks like the Dell is having trouble handling the extra heat from
these HDs (I keep the cooling fan and vents clean), so I'm looking for
a lower-power HD to stick in there and see if it helps.
I imagine any 4200 rpm drive would help, but is there a particularly
low-power and reliable laptop HD?
