The Intel 160GB drive is still about £350. Frankly, I don't see the 
point, yet, till prices drop dramatically. Which they will.
Is it really worth £350 just to wait a few minutes less per day? It 
might be more efficient just to go to the toilet less or cut out a 
coffee, tea or cigarette break in the day!

£350 will buy a complete, high specced, netbook, for example, or half a 
years supply of lunchtime chocolate bars! ;)
