This will hopefully change soon. I'm wondering when a laptop will integrate a SAS (Serial Attached Scsi) controller. This would allow the end user to pick a 2.5 inch SAS drive with 10k RPM, and a 3gb interconnect, or attacked to the same port the user could pick a cheeper 2.5 inch SATA drive. All the SAS drives use the same connectors as SATA, and any SAS controller supports either.

Even SATA drives in a laptop would probably be an improvement, but those seem to be very slow in being adopted.
