Storage: WD 500GB Caviar Green WD5000AZRX http://www.ebuyer.co...rive-wd5000azrx or boot: Western Digital 500GB Caviar Blue 7200RPM 16MB SATA 6Gb/s WD5000AAKX http://www.dabs.com/...-56320000&src=3 but please note that this is a mid range drive

Momentous XT 500gb or 750gb, those are the fastest HDDs on the market. with a boot time that is VERY close to SSD.

Not really wanting to spend that kind of money mate but thanks anyway, WD Caviar Blue looks good for me

Yea it is a bit out of most peoples budget but it makes an excellent boot drive! And if you are anything like me I hate having to re install the OS on another HDD.

My suggestion: go for a WD Scorpio drive. They're enterprise grade drives so they're guaranteed to last ages.

Selling is not aloud through the pm service, if you want to sell it you will have to wait until you are at 100 posts at which time you will unlock the for sale and wanted section
