If you're still looking, check out the link below for a better price on an IBM 60 Gig drive. It's only a 5400 RPM, but I don't know anything about laptop drives. Do they come any faster than that? What are the ones that shipped with the Empegs?

And while we're on the subject, if you buy the hard drives yourself, you have to install them yourself, correct? Does SonicBlue still do upgrades?

Anyway, hope this link helps.
