Not bad for a laptop hard drive if I do say so myself -
wizard@wizard-netbook:~$ sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 1234 MB in 2.00 seconds = 617.57 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 310 MB in 3.01 seconds = 103.10 MB/sec
Netbook is a Compaq (rebranded HP) Mini 110c - the hard drive is under the keyboard but I found a video on how to replace it and it was only about a fifteen minute job. Here's the hard drive I picked -

The drive is fast and quiet. No idea what impact it'll have on battery life yet but so far it's been a pretty good swap. A cached copy of Chromium opens in two seconds - which ain't bad for a netbook
