    Slap a type-R sticker on your drive. I did it, and I swear I got an extra MB/sec out of my ATA/100.

    I'm thinking of putting a spoiler on it. I figure that's good for at least 850KB/sec. Any recommendations?

      Hands down best way is to paint it red.Metalic red preferably.

    I could just imagine somebody skimming the comparison

    Don't worry, /.'ers don't read the articles at all.

    (btw, the short conclusion page of the article does mention the 120gb limit)
