Hard drive manufacturer Fujitsu announced they are releasing new 2.5″ hard drives with 320GB of capacity and a 7200RPM spindle speed.  From Fujitsu’s press release:

Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., a leading supplier of innovative computer products including hard disk drives, peripherals and biometric security solutions, today announced the release of its 2.5-inch 320GB 7200RPM SATA hard disk drive (HDD), its second-generation high capacity 7200RPM SATA drive. By doubling storage capacity, increasing data throughput, and keeping power consumption low, Fujitsu has created a 2.5-inch HDD that rivals the performance of traditional 3.5-inch form factor desktop HDDs.

These new 7200RPM drives will give a nice performance boost over the current crop of 5400RPM models, and are a good choice for anyone running disk-intensive programs on their laptop.  The higher speed will also make the operating system respond quicker, and Vista users should see a nice increase in responsiveness compared to a 5400RPM hard drive.
