Which hard drive to get for under 100$

[Ravindu Kodippili]

I am looking for a 7200 RPM drive that fits in my lenovo y500. Howver, there are so many when i search newegg : http/www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007605%2050001305%20600003340&IsNodeId=1&name=7200%20RPM

Which one should I pick that is under 100 dollars?

This one offers the greatest capacity available in the price range:

But if the extra 250 GB isn't necessary, this one, a hybrid drive, is faster:

Laptop hard drives aren't speed demons, even at 7200 RPM but the integrated bit of SSD cache on the second drive will make a noticeable difference in performance.

That is a 3.5 inch desktop drive, Ravindu has a Lenovo laptop, so he needs a 2.5 inch drive.
