Laptop Hard Drive RPMS?
I have a Dell Latitude C810 that I'm going to replace the hard drive in. I currently have an IBM Travelstar ATA/IDE 10GB 4200RPM. I was wondering can I upgrade to same kind of hard drive but has 5400RPMs. Is it safe to do so with my older laptop? I don't want to upgrade my laptop because it works great and this is the first problem I have had.
The only concern would be if the higher RPM drive runs hotter than the slower drive. Power consumption might be different too (though I doubt it is higher - today's drives are much more efficent in terms of power). A lot of the people responding appear to assume that higher RPMs necessarily mean more power consumption, which is intuitive, but not always true.
Often you can get the specs on the drive, including heat (and noise and "mean time between failures" and all sorts of other things that you'd have to be a technogeek like me to care about) from the manufacturer's web site. Compare the two drives.
I did a little bit of leg work for you, and it appears that Travelstar hard drives are, in fact, manufactured by Hitachi.
