Don't waste money on a single speed drive. Many of the games out need at 
least a dbl speed drive to work. If you are just using it for a database 
then it will work SLOW.  Do yourself a favor, save for the dbl speed.
BTW by the time you get the money for the dbl speed, quad speed drives will 
be out and drive the prices for dbl speed drives below $200.
