Not exactly a banner day for the Internet, but not a bad day over here at rkuo.com.  The 60GB Hitachi Travelstar now in my Tablet PC is, in fact, close to as quiet as the old 40GB Travelstar and way more quiet than the Toshiba 80GB drive that I briefly tried in my last post.

As a completely unexpected bonus, battery life appears to have increased with this drive installed to about 20 extra minutes past where it used to be.  From a full charge and screen brightness dimmed somewhat, I’m at 3:51 minutes of battery life.  Not bad…not bad at all.

I’m probably still going to be getting the M400, but I think this M200 is quite ready to be handed off to someone else at SnapStream whenever that happens.
