I have a dell inspiron 3800 laptop and the drive in it is starting to go. now its got a 4200 travelstar that it came with. I am wondering if there are any compatablity issues of going with a faster drive, either a 5400 or even a 7200, or would this just be a bad idea cause of added heat, additional power consumption isnt an issue because I run dual batteries. As of right now my number one drive in consideration is probably the 40gb toshiba 4200rpm drive http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=22-149-014&depa=1
or the samsung 40gb 5400 rpm drive. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=22-152-501&depa=1
