Damn expensive for 150GB - but yeah it sure would be nice. Realistically though, unless you are video editing and need the speed, the money is probably better put into a bigger capacity drive IMHO.

that does look like a nice drive, loud but nice. Idle Mode at 39 dBA (average) and Seek Mode 46 dBA (average), I think my processor fan is quieter under load then this hard drive is at idle.
