Hey guys,
I was just reading the great review about the Hitachi 7K60 HDD. I checked out the benchmarks and they look great. Now I have an Acer Travelmate TabletPC which has a slow 30G 4200rpm drive (I believe it's a Travelstar) and was wondering if the upgrade to the Hitachi drive would bring significant performance increase to my system.
The system is limited to its current 256MB of RAM (motherboard apparently won't take more) and it's frequently using the swap file so I'm guessing faster I/O would be helpful, I'm just not sure by how much.
Bottom line, do you think it's worth spending the $200+ for this drive on a PIII 800Mhz system with which I don't do any type of gaming (mostly used with Visual Studio.NET, Dreamweaver MX, Photoshop CS, Office 2003).
Thanks,
Sam
