    I have been reading a little bit online about the new Momentus 5400 PSD drive that is coming out soon ( http://www.mobilewhack.com/reviews/seagate_unveils_3_new_notebook_hd.html).

    Does anyone have anymore info, such as expected price, or release date? Do you think the new drive will actually incrase battery life in Vista by 50%? Is it worth waiting to upgrade a hard drive? How about the 7200.2, is the only difference the increased capacity (up to 160GB)?

    I saw a 160gb version on tigerdirect, but they got rid of it, and I about to get it too, it was only $170. But oh well, guess i shall build up my server. For anyone with link problems-

    I don't know anything new about the solid state drives, but I am waiting to try to get one from a friend.
