decent HDD
- Pros: I used to boot my computer off of an IDE HDD. Now I boot it off of two of these drives in Raid 0. Boot time has been cut in half.
- Cons: Not quite as fast as I was hoping (but still pretty fast). Would've given it 5 eggs but it's too expensive.
- Other Thoughts: After installing these drives in Raid0, it bumped my Windows Experience Index up to a 5.9 (from 5.3)
Good Drives
- Pros: These are always good drives it's my 3rd one. Only 74 GB but does a great job on just having the OS and a few games on it. I use other means for storage. Fast boots are always pleasant.
- Cons: Cache is small but does a great job any ways.
- Other Thoughts: PhenomII 955 OC'd 3.7Ghz Stable
MSI GD-70
Patriot Viper 2000Mhz

Fast, but HOT!
- Pros: This drive, while small by today's standards, makes a great boot drive. All I keep on mine is Vista and a few apps I need to run as fast as possible.
- Cons: Hot little puppy. Until I get a better case fan, my case stays open. If you have the room, install this drive in its own cooler.
- Other Thoughts: Wish I could afford the 300 GB model. Until SSDs get their act fully together, this drive (and its brethren) is the fastest storage solution out there.
