[QUOTE="drealit, post: 490353, member: 70031"] Is anyone using normal laptop drives in their HTPC. I currently have a Western Digital 500GB GP drive in my HTPC but I use practically none of it due to my media server. I'm considering replacing the drive (and putting it to better use for that matter) and have been wondering about laptop drives. I know they are a bit slower than desktop drives but am wondering if they are slow enough to affect my MediaPortal experience. I use the StreamedMP skin along with MyTVSeries and Moving Pictures with high resolution images etc. Would I notice any slow down in menu performance/browsing etc. by switching to a laptop drive? Are some ok for use while others would be too slow for queuing up all the images/database info etc? [/QUOTE]
