I've got a new Viao with a 320Gb Samsung 5400 HDD.
I'm finding that the cpu load and memory use are pretty good, but the HDD is often at 100% with me waiting for things to load.
Would moving to a decent 7200rpm drive see any real world benefits?
In an ideal world I'd get an SSD, but I need at least 150Gb and it is just too expensive at the moment so was thinking about a faster mechanical drive as a stop gap.
Is it worth it?
