cost effectiveness, id go with the cheaper 500gb one as the 500gb one is ~17 cents per

not sure if he difference in cost is justified by the extra rpm (this does not take into account the cache either)

if you can get a noticeably better experience then it might be worth the larger one
WD Scorpio black 500Gig (7200rpm/16MB cache) $89or...
WD Scoprio blue 750gig (5400rpm/8MB cache) $149
My choice would be the black.

(faster and cheaper>extra 250gig)

Did you read my post? There is nothing wrong with my math.
