Just pulled the plug on one of these...http://www.warehouseexpress.com/buy-western-digital-my-book-studio-ii-2tb-fw-400-800-esata-usb2-/p10331662TB should keep me going a while.
I hope RR doesn't get that toshiba 256GB ssd with his system as the 4K and 4K-16 speeds leave alot to be desired when compared to the latest ssds.

I'm still on 10.4.11 Leopard on this iMac.I'm a PC man but the general rules when using an ssd is to avoid writing tons of data to it as unlike a spinning platter hdd, the ssd can "wear out" as the nand it uses can only be written to and erased so many times.
