    7200 rpm and 10,000 rpm drives are faster.

    And unless you really want to pay more money for the same thing, look at pricewatch.com.

    This drive I'm getting will be free from Dell only( and in the price range im thinking I'll be able to get), these seem to be my best options, and not everyone in the world lives in the States(no new egg.com links please)

    Does anyone have any insight on "Performance and quality" now? And thanks for the valued opinioin Fade To Black.

    Since you never said otherwise, I assumed you were in the US. Next time if you're looking for help you might wanna mention where you live.
