150GB is actually quite cheap now, RM600? But I don't think it's worth it, unless you are after the seek time performance.

Yeah but you can buy two 500GB drives for slightly less.

So, yeah, if you are looking for seek performance, but most people will want to look for capacity and a low cost per GB.

Not worth it because VelociRaptor is out. I bought my WD740 because it was the high end back then.
