Performance should be better and sequential writes won't be too far behind either but you will have enough space to really enjoy it.

There isn't anything worse than running out of space.

Edit: If your struggling for space, your not exactly taking advantage of the write speeds anyway! so your not actually downgrading even if the E is still 'considered' better! So my advise is pretty much the same as before.

Edit: Actually 3x 80's

Thanks for the fats reply!

I was thinking about Raid but it seems as of right now that two 80GB drives is going to cost a bit more than a single 160GB drive? I dont even know what the x25-E is worth or what to list it for but I was thinking about $400-450. I didn't want to spend more than $50-100 on top of that. So I really have a budget of $450-550. Does this change your opinion?
