2 Tera-byte drive doesn't impress me. The drive is 7500 rpm which is old technology. I would be impressed with a 12,000 rpm drive sold under $100.

A drive like this isn't used for transactional work where high rpm shines. People will use it to hold lots of big files, where platter density matters more than rpm. But you're getting close on a cheap high-rpm drive. Newegg has a 73 GB 15,000 rpm for $140. I don't think anybody makes 12,000 rpm drives though.
