    Trying to get a little more life out of a Inspiron 1501 laptop. It has
    a 5400 RPM HD. I could buy a 7200 RPM HD. Do you need SATA 300 to keep
    up with the data from a 7200RPM drive? Or not. Trying to find specs on
    whether this Inspiron has a SATA 300 or 150 interface. Or I could get
    a solid state HD. Or I could get an ExpressCard SSD and use that as a
    2nd drive for ready boost or swap file or just generally to share the
    load, IF that is faster than one of the other options. Anybody have
    good info on which would give the most speed, or links to comparative
    reviews?

    Thanks
