Well, your mileage may vary, but I would definitely not recommend going 
with a Fujitsu *hard disk* in that machine then.  My experiences with 
those have not been good, and they also always showed up as the slowest 
of the bunch in comparative performance benchmarks.

For a professional-grade hard disk - assuming we're talking of a 
Winchester with rotating platters - I definitely recommend either 
Hitachi or Seagate.

But like I said, your mileage may vary. ;-)
