It is a good idea. And it is coming out soon. Seagate is supposed to release 60, 80, and 100 GB models of their mobile 7200RPM hard drives. But I dont know when.

I think it's probably coming out when it's coming out. Just keep checking newegg or wherever. That's what I'll be doing...

100 gb with 7200rpm would be the performace winner i think. it's on 7200 rpm and because it's a 100gb disk it has a bigger density , and that would boost performace a bit too. now if they put 16 mb of cache, we would have a winner in the HD section for a long time.

Yeah. Mor companies need to put 16MB buffers onto their drive.

You think your 5400 is slow? I'll trade you my 4200!

The transition from 4200 to 5400 was somewhat noticeable for me but 4200 to 7200 was like night and day.

No it wouldnt. Boot up time would just be about 0.000000001 seconds

By the time we have drives spinning that fast, the OS alone will occupy 1000 terabytes and still take a minute to boot.

According to that shouldnt a 80 GB 7200 have better performance than a 60 GB 7200. Likewise with a 80 GB 5400 and a 60 GB 5400

theoretically yes. But you can do other optimizations that could potentially make an 80 GB 7200 rpm hdd slower than a 60 GB 7200 rpm drive.
