    - ~ 200GB 7200RPM (Serial-ATA II 300 - 16MB Cache) 95 dollars
    - ~ 320GB 5400RPM (Serial-ATA II 300 - 8MB Cache) 85 dollars

    exactly why is the 200g 1 more 0.o

    the speed. :)

    but now the 320GB 5400rpm are so high density, they are comparable in speed with the 7200rpm drives.

    Just get the 320GB and you should be good.

    I believe the 320GB is about equal with the 200GB in speed because of data density, as Gophn said.

    Yes. the 200gb, 7,200RPM with a larger cache will be faster. Negligibly, but faster. Would you freakin BUY this thing already!?

    yup. :)

    the 320GB's are the way to go now for speed, cooler temps, and storage.... until there are higher capacity 7200rpm drivers.

    You know what.

    You should just contact the vendor that you are going to buy this from, they will walk you through every question that you have.

    Not true.

    Justin (Justin@XoticPC) from XoticPC and Donald (paladin44) from Powernotebooks have been in the game a while, they know their stuff.

    Just contact them, or PM them and you will find out why they have our respect. ;)

    Thing is that there are so many 320 GB 5k drives now that they`re effectively dirt cheap.
    I`ll be getting one soon too.

    Paladin44 has pm'ing disabled; justin@xoticpc has it enabled, so he must have some other screening mechanism deployed (circular file, perhaps :D ). Agreed, though, that folks who aren't willing to do a lick of their own research should not be encouraged to pm people who have better things to do with their time.
