Thanks for the info Richard,
I'd be interested to know how hard you push your ibook. I'll be 
recording music (which is why I'm going for the Seagate Momentus as 
they are quiet) and I have to be careful the fan doesn't kick in during 
sessions.
There's also the matter of cost, - the 7200 is twice the price of the 
5400 in the UK!
Cheers,

Steve
