December 1, 201015 yr I posted a 150gb last week for 79.99 ---> this is a 300gb for 100 (50 or so cheaper than i've seen) *not necessarily an unRAID deal of the day, but still... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136322
December 1, 201015 yr I wonder if a Momentus XT is a better deal. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148591 4GB read cache. My laptop screams after I put this in. not quite SSD performance but it's right between a regular drive and an SSD.

My laptop screams after I put this in. not quite SSD performance but it's right between a regular drive and an SSD. I have been looking at one of these drives to put in my laptop. Have to do some more research to see how they perform, but from the initial google searching and scanning of articles people seem to really like them.

Have to do some more research to see how they perform, but from the initial google searching and scanning of articles people seem to really like them. Initially it's just a bit faster then a regular drive, after using it a while and a few reboots it gets close to SSD speeds for the most commonly used tasks. I'm very happy with this drive. I bought two for my pro-tools laptop. I'm considering to built a desktop using two of these in RAID0. or maybe a SAFE33 arrangement.
December 1, 201015 yr Here we go again, another good deals thread turned discussion of something fairly unrelated.... Weebo, in a desktop environment what do you think about the XT as the boot drive and primary storage drive vs a small (60 GB) SDD and a 7200 rpm storage drive (say 500 GBs or so). I'm not as concerned with the capacity as much as the speed, since 500 GB is definitely big enough for my desktop (since I've got unRAID for my serious storage)...
