I have been looking for 2TB 2.5", 7200RPM drive to no avail. There are 5400 rpm drives - but I found them considerably slower than 7200 RPM drives.
If anyone has the "inside scoop" on this, would sure appreciate the info.

Thank you Frank. Searched Using your link, I also searched seagate for other models which would be more like 9mm depth so they will fit in a laptop. The ones in the link you provide are 15mm :) Will never fit in the laptop :( Unfortunately, Seagate itself does not seem to produce 9mm 2.5" 7200 RPM 2TB drives. I found for example model STBD2000102 which is 8.8mm 2TB 2.5-inch but only 5400RPM. Ditto with the Seagate/Samsung model number ST2000LM003, which 9.5mm. Both have on-the-wire speeds of 6gbps.
Must continue searching.
Cheers,
JD
