Thanks for that interesting article Hurst and I'll probably grab the smaller oner when available over here for testings.

Read this at the same site.
-{ Quote: "According to blog Bit-Tech.net, sources in the hard drive industry say that Western Digital (maker of the old world's fastest hard drive) "is working on a 20,000RPM Raptor hard drive to combat" Solid State Drives, since these are going to "be affordable in the next 12 or 18 months." The new Raptor will be a 2.5-inch drive inside a 3.5-inch custom box designed to make it "silent," since a 20,000RPM HD could probably make your ears bleed after a few minutes at fulll speed. But can a mechanical drive compete against solid state?" }-

cant wait until intel gets there first SSD out of the door.
the more competition the cheaper prices,faster and bigger capacity drives
