May well have been me - I am always banging on about fast this or better that.

Imost specifically WOULD NOT reccomend a 10000 rpm drive for media - no need as niko says. I would always say go for the fastest drive you can for the c drive - this makes the computer sooo much smoother.

I have fitted fast c drives in my last 3 pcs and people often remark on how fast the d top is.

The drives to go for are western digital raptors 10,000rpm. Available in 70 and 150gig I think - expect to pay 2 to 3 x the price of a 7200rpm drive. Suprisingly they are not scsi - ordinary sata.
