Thanks for the link. Very interesting. Have no need for any HD right now. My Gateway laptop P-7805U FX already has 2 HDs 320GB each in it.

But the Seagate 7200 performance was a real surprise.

Very interesting stats. Thanks for the research. I have looked seriously at the Seagate Momentus 500, but my 320 is way more sopace than I need on my lappy.

SSD's are priced out of contention at present.

i agree with that as well, but i figured people might be curious how they stack up with each other.. granted by the time they do become affordable this info will be obsolete, so i guess its just i have too much time on my hands lol

OP I appreciate this post as I have been thinking about upgrading my laptop's hard drive.

I really wish they would make SSDs that are just big enough to install Windows on them, then you could just put all your apps onto a regular hard drive. Just a 4gb or 8gb memory chip is all, sell them for like $10, and just bundle them with motherboards. It would at least make everyone's computer boot up super fast, and most tasks would be quick.
