I'd take the 5,400rpm drive - there's not much difference from 5,400 to 7,200rpm and 40Gb is like 50% more. Where are you getting Samsung prices from? I'm interested in trying someone new.

shirl,
tell me how you go with this. The samsung 120Gb sounds like a bargain compared to the competition. Most drives in that price are 80-100Gb!
