That'll save a bit of time!

* The Samsung Spinpoint F3 specs were taken from the 500 GB drive, so will possibly be incorrect - will be fixed up as soon as I see them publish specs for the 1 TB drive they already have available.

** The WD AV-GP drive is a variable rotational speed drive.

*** The WD VelicoRaptor drive is a 10,000 RPM 300 GB HDD.
