In laptop 2.5" drives, I've had better luck with Seagate than WD. Desktop 3.5" drives are exactly the opposite. My second choice is Hitachi.

Thank you for the recommendations. As soon as I can get with the owner, I'll check Newegg for the best deal going.

Go with GLC's recommendation, I did not realize that you were talking about a laptop drive. I guess that is what happens when you scan the message instead of reading it thouroughly.
