Hard drive speed has really improved and it is something noticable on a day to day basis. I can't remember the last time my CPU was stressed from something other than a game.

I picked up a WD 1TB sata drive for $79 a year ago. now you can find them everywhere for less than fifty bucks, so a good fast hard drive shouldnt be a compromise unless you're concerned about SSD
