The Hitachi 7K200 is a very fast drive, I notice the difference in my XPS M1210 vs my previous 7K100. I wish though that my laptop would support AHCI drivers for the SATA storage controller, might squeeze a teeny bit more performance out...

NCIX hit my credit card, but no update on the shipping status as of yet. I was tempted to dump them and go to OWC since I know they have them, but I don't feel like paying customs duties etc. I ordered a cheap USB-SATA enclosure off eBay...

I know I turned off the software based protection for my work ThinkPad when I had it, to gain back performance. However I think this is a CYA it just fell off a desk kind of protection, not I'm typing on my lap, oh no a slight bounce...

Yea I'm the same way, keep the OS partitions slim and the important stuff on other partitions so I can blow the OS away when I need to. Fortunately the USB to IDE/SATA adapter I have (which works like crap for 3.5" drives grr)...

SolApathy do you have the G model for the 160GB? Sweet rig btw, must scream. Yea I have a feeling the difference between the 100Gb won't be too great, but it'll be enough space so that I can dual boot again and still have some media on...

NCIX has it listed with a 1-2 week waiting period. Not a bad CAD price though, $214 for the standard model, $221 for the G. Gonna order it and hope it doesn't take too long.

Yea I'm hoping Frontier PC will have it soon for us Cad residents, though it'll prob cost a small fortune like when I picked up the 7200.1 as soon as it was available this side of the price inflation border. Course I need to factor in a...

Thanks for the fix Tony, gonna try these out with Oblvion and see how the compare the the 91.31's.

By residence I just meant my home is there. Fed Ex to Bermuda is enough to make you cry, did a bulk order last summer and I think it was $110 for a 8 pound box. Then there's the 22.5% duty, its killer. It's why I had to pay twice as...
