At the moment I am booting from an Hitachi 7k1000 750gb 32mb cache and using an old Seagate 250gb drive for extra storage. My 250gb just simply is not sufficient for size.
My problem is that I am running out of space and would like to get rid of at least the 250gb drive altogether and upgrade.
With the current price of high capacity SataII drives, I think it would be hard to go wrong with a 1tb+ storage drive and then maybe a 80gb or 120gb SSD to boot from?

I really just want decreased heat and noise, and increased volume and speed. That's normal right?
 
That seems like a fine plan, but don't count on a good (and "good" meaning an SSD on Samsung or Indilinx controllers, not JMicron) 80-120GB SSD to come cheap.
 
How is the Kingston 128GB SSDNow V Series? It costs around $260...
Or the Intel 80GB X-25M for $240...
 
if you want a boot drive i would still go with a raptor... a good SSD will set you back quite a bit
 
If you have been living with a 250gb sata2 drive a raptor would be a good upgrade for little money compared to SSD
