Hi all, I've got a Toshiba Laptop with a 30 Gig, 2.5", 9.5mm, 4200 Rpm, HD. The HD runs fine but the "Click Clacking sound when there's HD activity, drives me crazy. I was looking at a 40 Gig IBM Travelstar but I could only find 4200 Rpm drives in the 9.5mm category and if I would choose to by a larger and quieter HD it would have to be a 5400 Rpm drive, for overall better performance (4200 HD's are a bottleneck for a otherwise fast Notebook. So my question is: Are there any 5400 HD's in the 9.5mm category or could I use a 12.5mm Drive as well. I do run XP Pro on my Notebook. TIA Rock
