HDD upgrade

OK I've finally gotten round to getting a new HDD for my Linux box...it should be coming next Tuesday (15 april 2008) at the very latest (it's already been dispatched). Here's the specs:

Western Digital Caviar
160GB
8MB cache
ATA 100
8.9ms average seek time
2ms track-to-track seek time
7200 RPM
rated 50,000 Start / Stop Cycles
3.5" form factor
3 year warranty

I would've got Serial-ATA, but my motherboard's way too stone-age for that...the good news is: it cost me £35 with VAT+postage. Yippee! :) i would really reccomend the seller (novatech.co.uk) for it's low prices.
