idealist? what about a 500gb 15,000rpm drive? _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)

It's an illusive combination of speed, size, quality, quantity and reliable functionality at a moment's notice.... :omg: _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)

*looks around for the reference to chocolate or doughnuts* :confused: now my brain hurts! ;) zen is the art of being at one with the two'ness

I was going to make a snide remark that the word should be elusive[^], but then I realized your word choice made an even better pun :-O.

I like my drives like I like my chocolate? Hot and in large quantities. hey, that works for chili too. [update: I just realized one for donuts too... I like my drives like I like my donuts, large and by the dozen.] _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Unfortunately, I haven't heard of too many laptops that included onboard SCSI :((.

The advantage of having poor spelling, but a poet also.... you are always in doubt if the spelling mistake was a mistake or deliberate. :-O thus the later reference to 500gb 15000rpm drive. ;) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

But SATA II offers hope that eventually 15000rpm hard-drives may make the desktop market.... of course their price, limited size, and incredible heat makes them limited in application. But hey, I didn't list price in that list before. ;) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh.

I rephrase... Happiness is... Having enough money to upgrade your laptop's 60gb 4200rpm HDD to an extremely expensive 100Gb 7200rpm drive. :laugh:

Maybe I'm a slightly more realistic idealist than most? ;) Anna :rose: Riverblade Ltd - Software Consultancy Services Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

The 21.3 inch Samung 213T is pretty near nirvana, especially for $700. Of course now I'm holding out for the 30" Cinema - unless Samsung comes out with something cheaper ;)... Tom Ollar blix: more native than native

Hey C, What drive did you get? I was thinking of upgrading to the same spec as you and was looking at the Hitachi Travelstar 7K100. Regards, Brian Dela :-) Blog^ Co-author of The Outlook Answer Book... Go on, order^ it today!

I got the Travelstar 100Gb 7200rpm - not sure of the model number but I think there was only 1. It's great. Battery life is (obviously) reduced a little, but nothing painful, and it's a little noiser (in that I can actually hear the drive now, whereas the previous was silent) but I'm very happy. cheers, Chris Maunder

Yeah... the ones I am looking at are Travelstar 100GB 7200rpm drives... two different models of it though... and I can't find any info on the difference. Has it given a decent performance improvement? Regards, Brian Dela :-) Blog^ Co-author of The Outlook Answer Book... Go on, order^ it today!

Startup is definitely quicker, as are VS2005 builds. However, I up'd RAM from 750Mb to 1.5Gb at the same time so that's helping things too. cheers, Chris Maunder
