maxtor 40gb 7200 rpm pcmark: 250
WD 80gb SE pcmark: 1140

gave me around 90 3dmarks (less than 1% of 14,133)

overall i figure if you are getting a new drive anyways its worth it. but not if you are just trading size for size looking for speed.

there is some speed improvement but its not exactly breakthrough.
