PB Lombard hard drive specs

Hi all ! I have a 400MHz Lombard with the original 6GB drive. I was wondering whether anyone knows what the seek time and rotational speed of the drive is ? I'm considering an upgrade to an IBM travelstar 20GN drive (20GB, 4200RPM, 2MB cache) and I want to know if, apart from the bigger size, the drive will increase overall performance of my book.

Thanks,

Majid Charania

I have a Lombard as well, Except that I'll be updating to the 40.0GB Toshiba 5400RPM 9.5MM SuperSlim Notebook Drive with LARGE 16MB Data buffer!

Unfortunately I can't seem to see it in any of my searches of Canadian web sites, I've only found it at O.W.C. @
New with 3yr Toshiba Warranty. (TOSMK4019GAX) $139.99 u.s.d.

Just thought I'd tell you that there are other drives that might be better than the IBM drives.

D ;)

I'm actually considering buying it off someone in the trading post (I'm short on cash), but I would totally go for a bigger/faster drive if I had the money. I just wanted to know if it would show a decent performance boost over the original drive to warrant the expense.

Thanks a lot !
