Another failed hard disk

Hard disk in my 600m is pretty messed up.  Sometime you can boot from it.  Other times you can't.  Ran chkdsk and it works to about 50% and then hangs.  No problem though, I've backed up everything important.  Here is the question.  What should I replace the old drive with?  The current drive is a Fujitsu 40GB.  I'd love to take this opportunity to bump the drive up to a 60GB drive.  The Fujitsu 60GB drive seems logical.  Any advice would be appreciated.

    I believe your Fujitsu drive is a 4200 rpm one so suggests that your new one be either a 5400 or 7200 rpm model.

    Suggest you look at models by Hitachi and Seagate.
