I've got a 7200.11 drive as well. Top notch performance. 32mb offers very little real-world performance gain, only theoretical.

they fixed the Firmware now.

i knew about that problem but its fixed now and i've not heard anybody say anything about said "clicking or dieing"

i finally ordered the seagate 500gb 7200.11 32mb cache from dell.com for $90.
thanks guys for all your help.

A lot of Seagate fanboys here

Try to check for reviews for WD 640GB

Even though WD 640GB has 16MB it outperforms Seagate 7200.11

Personally, I would buy WD 640GB because it is faster and has 140GB extra storage

Agreed.

Samsung F1 > WD 640gb > 7200.11

i've seen more failed wd hard disks than any other brand. i've had several seagates and never had any problems. in fact, i have a 6 gig seagate that still works perfectly to this day.
