yes I am, a dyslexic moment:)
However, it is a small difference for me. I'm not that thrifty. For
system drives I always buy the fastest Raptor available. For storage,
I buy a drive a year, and I always buy the biggest fastest drive
available, within reason, of course. This drive started out on
Newegg at about $400, and while it may continue to go down, it is at
a good price now. And I need to replace a 300GB Enterprise Maxtor this week.
