    thanks for replying on the mem vs hard drive.

    I think hitachi is the only one that makes 7200 rpm?


    if not which is the best one out there. I saw an article on this site before about this but I could not find it again.

    thanks,
    Loc

    Seagate also makes a 7200RPM drive. I like Hitachi drives in that they have great parts, but they make noticable clicking noises and run a bit warm IMO. Still a very good drive.

    Better performance on the Hitachi, but noisier. Seagte runs cooler and quieter, but not quite as fast. Both are great drives and would make an excellent upgrade.
