I just ordered a new drive for my dell laptop. I have a 5400 RPM in there now, but this looks like it has the room I need, and the spindle speed to give me a noticable bump!

Hitachi GST Travelstar 7K100 hard disk drive 0A25015
100GB, 7200 RPM, Parallel ATA, 8MB Buffer - Hard Disk Drive


I used
fdisk -l
to determine relevant drives from a USB live distro I used (Debian).

then I just:
dd if=/sdb of=/dev/hda bs=32256
total transfer of 60GB took 4187.52 seconds
or 69 minutes!

I'm running on it now.
