HD upgrade

So i orded my 2.0gz whitebook with an 80gb hd. However I am thinking about downgrading back to the 60gb and selling it on ebay ($45-$55) and buying this drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822152040.

Also on an hd note is 7200 rpm worth the extra money, I'll be doing some photoshop.

or you can just use the old hd and put it in an external case.

good point i really wasn't thinking about that, but as far as the one i am looking at, any reason Samson wouldn't make a good drive?

yea but the enclosure for those are expensive. at least as i understand it. u do have to buy a specifically SATA enclosure, right? u cant just buy ne old 2.5" enclosure is what i have understood.

i was looking at an old 2.5" on new egg they are less than $10. SATA ones are $30. Which wouldn't make it worthwhile.
