[Thinkpad] Re: Hitachi E7K60 vs. 7K60 Hitachi 7200RPM Drives

Hello,

A similar question came up on the mailing list last month. You can view
the message thread at

http://illuminati.stderr.org/pipermail/thinkpad/2003-December/thread.html#6414

The consensus seems to be there is little difference. One drive might be
warrantied for harsher environments or have different repair/replacement
options, but that's just a guess on my part.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky
