    Looking for what's in the topic title, anyone know of single platter 250GB drives?
    Or am I going to have to buy 500GB drives if I want that data density?

    Thanks so much Phil.

    Anyone have a HDTach comparison of a single platter 250GB vs a dual platter 320GB?

    member SHKJ has a 250gb 7200.4 in his Dell laptop. You may want to send him a PM and ask him how the performance is.
    I was talking to him in PM's and he says that his laptop feels slow.
