    If you had a choice between ONLY these two combos which one would you choose?

    1) Core 2 Duo 7500 and 100gb Hitachi TravelStar 7K200

    2) Core 2 Duo 7300 and 200gb Hitachi TravelStar 7K200

    The Hitachi 7K200 at 200GB will utilize both of its platters, while the 100Gb only utilizes 1 of its disks. A hard drive with 2 disks has a higher sustained transfer rate than one with nnly one disk.

    I have 2 Hitachi 7K200 200Gb drives in my Voodoo and I love them they are super fast in Raid 0.
