Everyone knows about them. People call them "Value Hard Drives". If you dont already know what i'm talking about, there the 5400RPM drives. I baught a 60 Gig Western Digital 5400RPM drive and its doing fine. Seems like a good drive to me. I also read that they were just as good as the 7200RPM drives.
