oohh yeah
santa cruz is a nice soundcard!
...had mine for a couple of months now...very happy - especially 'cos i picked it up 1/2 price seeing the stupid shop didn't know how much they're worth
err...if u're saving up for a 5400rpm drive...save up a bit more & go for the 7200rpm ones...u'll notice the difference!!!
my windows used to take 4-5 min to boot up on 5400rpm drive (tho i'm sure it had near-zero cache)...but on 7200rpm drive, it boots up under a minute (like 58 seconds i think)
...dun worry...200g fills up quick!!!...always thinking..."eh...'nother 80g drive...should take a while to fill"...couple of months down the track..."shit, time to look at buying a bigger hd "

oh no the deskstar GXP are known to be problematic as hell. Go look on the web (search google) for all the rants about these hard drives. They have a habit of dying on you for no good reason and not after 4 years either
My new GOD box!
