Around that time (2004 or 2005), thanks to a giveaway from a work client who'd downsized, I got a PC with a SCSI card and two 10,000 RPM SCSI hard drives. (No idea what type... all I remember is the RPM.) I'd previously been using my ex-work PC from 2001, so this was a nice upgrade. More MBs, more GHz, bigger HD. First port of call was a chkdsk, of course - and one of the drives had some bad sectors. It happens. I threw it in the bin, and reinstalled Windows on the other one, which was fine. Mmm... it was so fast! That's what you get from those extra GHz and MBs, of course. 4 years is a long time in computer performance terms. After about a year of very enjoyable super fast PC use, the hard drive died. I replaced it with some generic UDMA IDE thing - and discovered almost immediately how much the 10,000 RPM SCSI drive had been bringing to the table :/
