No guarantees, of course; but I bought a 60GB 7K60 HDD (7200RPM) HDD
from zzf for my ThinkPad. You don't need a "retail" kit, the new HDD
just replaces the existing one. If you want to see the doc, just go to
the Hitachi Web site. The new HDD made my laptop noticeably faster
(replaced a 60GB 5400RPM HDD).

ZZF used to be Googlegear, which many posters on this NG recommended
over the years.

As always, YMMV
