NC10's hard-drive – mine is a Fujitsu MHZ2160BH

[ploppo]

Mine is a Fujitsu MHZ2160BH – not as fast or as good as I had expected; however, it might be down to selecting a drive that is more optimal for a netbook and not being power-hungry.

This is the Fujitsu’s web-page for the HD:
http://193.128.183.41/home/v3__product.asp?pid=611&inf=dsc&wg=15

I ran a test on it with HD Tune 2.55 ( http://www.hdtune.com/ ) – only ran it once.

Mine is out of my computer, so I’ll just tell you the type when I get home. I’ll run HDTune on my Scorpio and let you know that.

Mine is not, mine is a Hitachi HTS543216L9A300, I get the following values with HDtune:

All the fujitsu’s peak at nearly the same speed…but their low speeds can be really different!

Just for comparison, I also ran HD Tune 3.1 on my upgraded Seagate Momentus, 7200.3 ST9320421AS 320GB 7200 RPM with a 16MB Cache and got the following (looks like a +30% improvement over a standard drive):
