Everyones forgetting one BIG detail...drive speed. Yeah, you can go out and buy a 160Gb 2.5" hard drive really cheap. Newegg is selling a Samsung 160GB drive for only $95. What you have to remember is that these drives are spinning at only 5,400 RPMs. A REAL hard drive spins at 7,200s like almost all desktop 3.25: hard drives. The largest 2.5" 7,200 RPM drive is only 100GB and costs START at $100 for a good drive. So everyone must think...do you want to have a huge slow hard drive...or a slightly smaller one with twice the performance.
