I got 4 36.7GB HD's for $120 a piece.  They are *VERY* quiet (can't hear them
over my dual 5400 RPM fans), run very cool (in a $38 case of their own), and
have a 5 year warranty.  And of course, they have half the seek times as the
best 7200RPM IDE drive on the market.

There is no comparison.

Little faster?  Try twice.  And that's not *little*.
