I guess I'm just wired weird. I'd rather have speed than space.
Currently I have a 9.1G 10K rpm seagate cheetah drive. I picked it up
shortly after it came out. It was my final break away from ide drives.
I guess its just a mindset. The next drive I'm getting is an 18G
cheetah. Of course that'll be for my next box. I just helped a friend
of mine put together a dual P2 450. I think I need one :) Prices were
pretty good. Maybe when I get my tax return.... :)
I guess what I'm saying is, a while back I was confronted with the
choice of the larger, cheaper solution or the smaller, faster solution.
If it was a system I didnt have to use every day I probably would have
gone IDE. I'm very glad I didnt.
