Oh, and as a reference, I ran it on my old drive, and I was getting close to 1.5M/s transfer rates... so MUCH faster

I must say I am very pleased with my 120 gb SE drive. I picked it up last March, and I haven't even filled it yet... I can be downloading crap or burning a CD and capturing something from the tv tuner and the drive won't hiccup. It is very quiet too. Western Digital - who knew... I wouldn't have even considered WD not that long ago...

w2k is somewhat slow to boot, but at least it is much more stable than 98 was. I can't remember the last time I had a crash, lock, or a BSOD.
