Woodgie, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or for real about the hard drive thing.
Disks should be sized according to need and budget. Seek time doesn't increase as a function of storage size. It describes a physical relocation of the drive head, not a "seek" through data on the volume. Things like rotational speed, max seek time, buffer size and m ...[text shortened]... 40gb to an 80gb drive. So the price/size sweet spot is definitely above 80gb at this point.
Yeah, I had to go out and buy another hard drive just to install it. 😕

as for the one cable being used to the power, that shouldnt make any difference
