thanks for the link.

i have a seagate 160GB. can't find RPM info tho. i don't think transfer rate is fast, cause it took 20 mins to transfer my rock music in, about 4,000 songs. i have 87.7GB to spare.

my boyfriend bought it and installed it about 4 mos ago. he threw the box away, along with the stand. he never uses the comp. i had actually disconnected the thing, cause it wasn't being used. when comp slowed down i installed it again. since i loaded it, i hadn't turned it on till yesterday to cycle in/out some music. it's nothing more than a trunk for my (junk).

size matters, not necessarily speed. after defrag i have 85% to spare in comp. the only thing in here is music and pictures.
