Hi folks, looking for a little advice.

In my home lab I have a few ML110 G6 boxes, they all come with a 250GB Western Digital RE3 drive.

Now, im looking to speed up drive access a wee bit and get a bit more capacity, as everything else is so quick and high end, the HD's onboard are slowing things down a little.

If I replaced the 250GB RE3, with the WD 500Gb RE4 would I see a noticeable difference in performance?

Toms hardware did a review of the 2TB one, and it blew away a 300Gb Velociraptor, which seems quite impressive to me.

Would the 500Gb one be much slower?

Cheers.
