I see what you're trying to do there, and I am looking for a quick sub £100 boot drive, but it needs to be a bit cheaper than that with the price of SSDs on one hand and the price of the Samsung F3 as well.

£79.99 and I'd be ordering this afternoon.

So is that a 2.5" HDD in a 3.5" bay/radiator?

Not a chance at the moment. These are already way below WD's normal cost.

Correct.

Thanks for the response. If it was for OS and the odd game, what would you go for in the sub £100 bracket? It's between this, the cheapest SSD and an F3 for me. Can't really justify the prices of a proper SSD, but would like something fast for a new windows 7 install by the end of the month.

Would love a couple of these to go with my new SSD but price is prohibitive when comparing the cost of the WD Raptor drives to an SSD/Samsung F3. Yes I know you get less space on a comparable SSD.

I thought £100 for 150gb at 10,000 RPM was a decent price becuase they have very good review and some say they nearly stand up against SSD and for the price its worth it.

For an extra £80 you can get the intel 80gb sdd which is ideal boot drive and a few games. These really need to be cheaper to even get one as a boot. Just save up the extra £80 or you will always wish you went with the SSD
