Say a drive thats 4 months old and sees moderate use in a pretty clean environment. I'm just curious, because I have an OD system and am *seriously* considering selling the drive and gettting a hard drive, simply because I need speed (and less noise) not tons of removeable space. I'd appreciate honest answers and any other opinions you have about such a decision.
