    I was recently reading a review of the Western Digital VelociRaptor (320GB, 10000RPM), and saw that the actual drive is the size of a notebook drive.

    I wonder if this would work in a regular notebook say a 15.4", or would it just produce too much heat and damage the notebook.

    If it works it would make a killer upgrade for my lappy in about half a year ( currently have 5400 RPM HD) :D

    no. it has a higher power requirement, and removing it from the icepak voids the warranty.

    go for the WD scorpio black. 7200rpm and 320gigs.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I wasn't going to upgrade now, I was just wondering because I may do so in the future.
