    Whats the fastest 1TB (or bigger) I can get, and when I mean fastest I'm looking at something as fast or faster than our Momentus XT's?

    You don't have many options for 1tb drives. If you want a good combo, get a 500gb 7200RPM drive, and a really really expensive SSD for windows.

    I just bought the 1TB WD hard drive from newegg when it was on special. I can tell you that you will notice a big difference in load times with the 1TB 5400 rpm vs the 500GB 7200 rpm. I would recommend if you want it for size you can get the 1TB as storage but not for a primary drive.
