While I won't be affording any of those anytime soon, they also include normal HDDs in their comparisons and I'm just echoing previous commentators when I say that the Samsung F1 750GB gives you most bang for the buck. They're fast and quiet.

hardwareversand.de will flog it to you for 78.49 euro

That's just over 10 cents a gigabyte!

God almighty, when I think of what I spent on my first hard drive (SCSI, 30 MB).

I've gone for a pair of these in my new pc. Hopefully it should speed up boot time and hard drive noise will be minimal (also going for 2x1tb storage drives)
