Laurent, I had a stock 12 Gig 4200 rpm Toshiba in my Pismo 500. Before moving to Jaguar I replaced it with a 40 Gig 5400 rpm 16 meg cache Toshiba, the difference in speed when I boot in 9.2.2 is just amazing, HUUUUGE difference, and 10.2.3 seems as fast as in G4 Titaniums (at least the first edition).
