I'm in the market for a nice 320GB desktop drive.

However, i'd like to know which one performs best in a single user environment for gaming and simple windows tasks as browsing and the occasional movie encoding.

So far, i have narrowed it down to the WD3200KS

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822136003

or the 7200.10

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148140

or the Hitachi T7K500 320GB

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822145129

I don't really trust any newegg reviews and reviews for the Hitachi drives are pretty much not to find on the web (i assume it's the new 160GB platter version).
Which one of these would suit my needs best?

Oh, and for anyone interested, I'll be replacing my Raptor 00FLA1. It's a nice fast drive, but it's aging and the capacity is simply WAY too small. The bigger raptors are out of my league price wise.
 
Thanks man....anyone else?

Not sure if it's worth to invest $10-$20 more in the seagte or the new AAKS drives from WD....
