Mine is here at home; It is a somewhat large and bulky book. I can bring my copy back to school with me if Peter doesn't already have his copy at school, or if he's prefer not to lend out his copy.

The read rates on, like, old-school floppy disks are fast enough to play MP3s. Don't try to run WoW off of the second, though - 4200 rpm and a 2 meg buffer would be very noticeably slower for hard drive intensive things such as games or video editing or what have you. So yeah, it really depends what you want to use it for. If it's just for music, photos, and some anime or whatever, the second one is fine. If you want to run games off of it, however, you really want the first one. I've generally found, though, that once you get music/photos/movies off of your main hard drive, games fit with no problem.

I hope you're not planning on taking it everywhere you take your laptop... If it's just going to stay on your desk the vast majority of the time then I'd go for more power. Honestly though, I have no experience with portable/external hard drives... is it even reasonable to run a game (like World of Warcraft) off one? How important is portability anyway?
