Have to 2nd that note.
Although the PowerNow!/Cool'n Quiet is having some effect, do
_not_ expect desktop commodity/capacity disk performance out
of a notebook HD. Even the 7200rpm notebook drives are still
significantly slower than the 3.5" models.
We're currently experimenting with a Mini-ITX i915/Pentium-M
system in-house with a Seagate 7200rpm 2.5" notebook SATA
drive to see if it can drive multiple streams of 720p
multimedia.
