I believe Seagate makes a 10K rpm SATA drive, and I've heard lots of good things about them.

In order to take advantage of SATA, you really do need faster drives. The standard 7200rpm drives will not giv you a huge performance boost over ATA 100 drives ofthe same speed. 10K rpm drives, however, will give you a noticeable real world improvement, especially if you install two of the same drive as a RAID configuration.

Western Digital.

Yes there has. You must not pay a whole lot of attention.

IBM had their Deathstar era and WD has taken an undeniable dip in reliability.

Oh, and PMM. I'm surprised at you. You have an iMac now? You used to deride iMac users as being less familiar with their machines then Power Mac users.

And I still do.

You see; I cannot rightly be called an iMac user. I switch machines every few months out of boredom and for exploratory reasons. This is my first AIO desktop. I decided to dip my feet in the simplistic waters of the wireless world.

I assure you, the extent to which Power Mac owners (on the average) are more knowledgable than iMac owners has not been affected by my purchasing of an iMac.
