I've just been doing some WINDOW shopping and I found myself looking at faster hard DRIVES to put up the speed of my ever lagging 1Tb fat, slow HDD.

I've come across this: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/Components/HardDrives-Internal/SATAUpTo200GB/WesternDigital/WD1500HLFS.html

Reading all the SPECS thinking yeah this is **** hot, but then I got to the 'ERROR Rate'... 1 in 1015 bits.

Thought to myself "that sounds bad". So I compared it to another normal speed HDD, it functioned at 1 in 1^14 errors. (1 in100,000,000,000,000 bits) (EU 1 in 10 Billion) (US 1 in 10 Trillion)

So does that mean that VelociRaptor a rubbish HDD?Probably not, by why don't you get a Solid State Drive INSTEAD?

Presumbely you do alot of read/write activity as i have a 1.5TB HDD and the only time i notice it is slow is when tranferring stuff, otherwise its not noticeable.Because they have a limited life span and I was just browsing. I don't really intend to waste money on buying a slightly faster hard disk to put up a meaningless Windows rating number.

Just wondering if that's some sort of typo.That has to be a typo. The error rate has to be one in billions or trillions.
The  1 in 1015 should be 1 in 10^15 bits.
