    need collective wisdom here.
    What's a good, reliable [high MTBF] sub-100GB hard drive that is stinkin' fast?
    I don't need huge space so 50, 60, 80GB is plenty.

    Is the Raptor 10K Drive worth the money? are there any big-cache 7200rpm drives that benchmark near the Raptor?

    I currently run a Samsung dual-platter 5400rpm [60GB] drive that is fast for its humble spin speed, but would like to update before I go loading a bunch of applications in there.

    And, if I can get 2 answers for one: is Norton Ghost the only/best way to go for cloning the OS etc onto the new drive when I get it? This is Windows XP Professional

    thx
