differences between this and 30gb? Other than storage capacity, are there any reasons for me to buy this?

It is the exact same thing except for the storage space. The screen is the exact same, the navigation, everything. So it only depends on how big of a hard drive you need. People don't even understand that all the accessories are the exact same as well.

thanks. i download pretty frequently so 2GB is probably fine. i'm a bit of a novice, what is the fastest card? or how do i determine a "fast card"?

I bought the 32gb over the 64gb for only one reason a $100.00 savings. I carry 3days worth of music and around 8 hours of video. not to mention all the apps. for me the 32gb was the right decision. Brian

I just placed my order for the 32 GB and here's why: first of all I knew that 16 wasn't enough memory for me personally so I waited until the next memory upgrade came out. But of course, you don't know how much "stuff" the person you're buying it for will put on there. So think in these terms: with the 32 GB, you're essentially only spending 20% ($100) more for DOUBLE the memory. Economically, you're getting much more bang for your buck with the 32 GB. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. I have decided on the 720 but am now confused on the memory card debate. I have read/heard conflicting opinions on sd vs sdhc. I'm thinking an sd 2gb should do everything I need without memory card error risks. Any thoughts as to upgrading beyond?

If it only works for a few days like mine did, the plus or minus 250GB doesn't matter. Just be sure to only use it for data transport and not backup.

I think you can chose which gb you would like to use depending on how much storage you want. I hope this answers your question.

I noticed that the hard disk sizes were somewhat different as I looked at different systems. I chose one with a 750 gig hard disk. Plenty of free space.

I agree, definitely at least 8 GB especially if you are gaming. Buying more than that gets expensive.My son got 8 and it has done great for him.

You mainly get better reliability for your extra 30 dollars. One massive difference is that this product(ST4000VN000) is rated to be on 24/7/365 where as the other is only supposed to be on for 27% of that value. This drive is supposed to be able to stay on much much longer than the normal drive as well. Most importantly, this drive's firmware is a mix between standard desktop drives and enterprise class drives. You get features like TLER (gives your controller several seconds to figure out whats going on before declaring a drive as failed) which are extremely important for a NAS or a RAID. This drive also uses less power (aka, generates less heat) and when it's sitting in a NAS with little airflow, it can help as well. If you are going to build a NAS and you don't want to use enterprise class drives, this is the next best thing. I personally would never stick an ST4000DM000 in a raid/nas.

I can't actually answer your question (yet, going to install soon) however since the upgrade to 2gb (via two 1gb chips) is only around $30 here on amazon it seems silly not to upgrade.. also waiting on my memory so I'll post back with my experiences :)

If you plan on puting on a lot of content, then yes 64 is worth it. BUT 32gb holds a ton of memory as well. I have over 3,000 songs, a lot of photos and large games and still with a few gigabytes to spare.

My guess is that it's the 4GB RAM that's slowing things down rather than the hard drive. And to upgrade to 8GB (the maximum it can take) means replacing the existing memory with a $50-$60 8GB stick, as there is only one memory slot inside (according to CNet review). It could probably also use (esp. when first purchased) a good cleaning out of extraneous memory-hogging apps that get auto-loaded at boot time.

Yeah, Amazon's got this info really messed up...I can't figure out what the difference is between this model and one $40 cheaper, as apparently they're both Atoms with 2GB and 64GB storage. The price difference would make sense if one of them had more storage (or SOMETHING), but I can't figure out what the difference is.

I would agree to go for the 4gig, but wait a while because sandisk offers frequent mail in rebates. Including the rebate, I saw this item for 115$, brand new on Buy.com. I was angry because I bought it a few days earlier for 125$. The price changes alot, so be patient and wait for a good deal.

The 640gb is supposed to be faster than the 750gb model, and from what I've seen it gets a higher percentage of 5-star reviews. Therefore it's probably a bigger selling drive, higher demand drives the price higher, it's just basic economics.

G For me a no-brainer, 64GB +500 GB. I bought my 64GB a month before they started offering the 500GB keyboard and asked if I could trade-up or buy just the HD keyboard. They don't offer either. If you want to store music, movies, some older games, etc. the 500 GB is absolutely the way to go.
