7200 rpm Laptop drives from IBM in Q1 next year

2002-11-06 by Murray McDowall

Mike Magee's site The Inqirer reports that IBM's Travelstar drives will be
offered at 7200 rpm next year. It could mean that forking out extra for
Firewire drives for audio could be unnecessary as internal drives --
particularly for machines which support two -- will do the job more than
adequately. 

Here's the link with a partial quote below:

>IBM also announced plans for a new 7200 RPM mobile drives, offering, it said, 
>users the ability to 'cut the cord' binding them to their desks.
