    I had already posted the link in the other big thread about the TZ but maybe it deserves its own thread?

    You did the right thing wuruoyu. I didnt manage to translate the page though, i suppose the TZ with SSD has the score of 2.5 no? I quite decided for the combination of SSD+DVD, can you advice me a good external HD, 7200rpm?

    Yes the TZ with SSD has the score of 2.5, but 2.5 is the total score, the SSD actually gets 5.2 when the HDD has a 3.7.
    you can get a 3.5" 7200rpm 160GB for C $70.96 (not incl. shipping):
    http://cgi.ebay.ca/Maxtor-160GB-Ext...yZ116257QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    or 300GB one for C $99.99 (not incl. shipping)
    http://cgi.ebay.ca/Samsung-300G-Ext...ryZ41911QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

    But they aren't so pretty, or you can do it this way like what i have, you get a 2.5" 7200rpm 100GB for C $122.57:
    http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-Hitachi-100G...ryZ42184QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    then buy this slim stylish case has a VAIO logo in it. it's very cool for $3.00

    If you're going to get a 7200rpm, wait for the 7K200 from Hitachi which is coming soon. 200GB of 7200rpm disk that is faster than the last genereation. You could also go for Seagate's new Momentus line (up to 160GB in 7200rpm) which is also faster and better.

    As for the speed of the SSD, it bests the 7200rpm drive in my SZ (4.9 vs. 5.2 for the SSD in the G). Take that for what it's worth.
