I need to find a laptop hard drive, IDE type in 7200 rpm flavor.
Reason being for a speed boost on an old Inspiron 2200 for a friend. I'm trying to not spend a fortune on it, I've been able to find a ton of 5400 and also some expensive prices on 100+ gb IDE 7200 drives. (Sata 5400 drives are seeming to be by far the most common now). A 40/60/80 would do fine, something like 40 to 80 dollars a pop or better respectively would be ideal, I can find them on ebay too, but I want 7200 rpm, brand new, brand new being the hardest part it seems, fairly cheap, anything over like 90 bucks is probably too much as I'll be lucky to get 80 bucks for the upgrade as it is.
I've already searched the following places to no avail;
newegg
tigerdirect
amazon
buy
frys
axiontech
geeks
outpost
compusa
bestbuy
staples
officemax
officedepot
surpluscomputers
server supply (is ALL their stuff used/refurb or what?)
zipzoomfly
and a bunch of other places I can't specifically remember.
I need help, its like trying to find long lost treasure at this point, haha, all help is appreciated, I'd love to find some new ones I can pick up for a decent price.
Thanks everyone!
