I have to bring this up. Cpu's, memory and graphics cards are all the rage when it comes to improving your computers performance, but the most overlooked piece of hardware is your computer's hard drive. All hard-drives are not created equal and size is becoming less of a determining factor when making a purchase.

Why is the performance of your hard drive so important? Hard-drives take part in just about every interaction you have with your computer. We have done tests here at Interfuse that prove this point, taking an old computer that needs 2 minutes to boot up, replacing the hard drive with one of the highest performing on the market and watching it literally boot up in 15 seconds.

Don't believe us? Try it for yourself.  Grab one of these high-end hard drives, install it into your computer, add your favorite OS and tell us what you think.

High-end does not have to mean expensive, for this example we spent on a 320GB SATA Seagate Barracuda ST3320613AS 7200 RPM. The results we're so amazing we installed them through our office, saving seek time, boot time and increasing the useful lifespan of our machines.

What's next in high-performance hard drives? Anyone paying attention has seen the new Solid State Drives (SSD) and can't wait to try them out. Benchmarking at highly accelerated rates and boasting no moving parts.
