Fastest laptop drive ?

[Big.Wayne]

blackninja, [If you got money to burn] get an ocz core sata II ssd, they are very fast, use little power and silent.

Fixed!



Good to see more SSD's enter the marketplace, couldn't think of anything worse to invest in as the value just keeps dropping and dropping.

I do want one but they are not ripe for picking yet!

Here's my 320GB BE in a Dell D630 with Vista Business X64

The WD3200BEKT (320GB, 7200rpm) drive is £109.26 atm. Is there a better drive for Macbook?

edit: price seems to be £117.49 now... not such good value any more!

Will sort that out now. They've just come off This Week Only.

Just ordered one, couldn't make up my mind during This Week Only, glad they've come back down in price.

I'm not expecting too much of a speed increase, the larger cache will be nice though. Just wanting to have some space to store things!

I'm swapping my existing 80GB Tiger/Macbook drive with the 320GB Western Digital drive and also putting Leopard on at the same time so direct comparisons won't be possible.

remember guys they do a 160GB single platter version which is the same speed! http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-223-WD only £66 compared to £111 for the 320gb version. If you dont need more than 160gb then get this and save yourself £55
