I see that Hitachi have now announced their answer to the Seagate 160 GB drive, the Hitachi Travelstar 5K160 series, model HTS541616J9AT00.

I have not seen prices anywhere yet, but maybe this competition will help to bring the price down further on the 160 GB drives.

I now have a hacked 100gb hard drive in my DMS. I've noticed that they time it takes to call up a song or track title announcement is a little slow. Is there anything that someone is working on to remedy that? I'd really like to get a 160gb drive but with around 15,000 songs on the 100gb right now it is taking some time to access the drive when you want a song. I mean its not much time but it would be nice to have something that's a little faster.

What drive is it you used?  my 100 gig seagate drive is faster than the 10 gig toshiba that came with it I think.

There are a number of factors that could contribute to overall slowness. I assume you have run chkdsk on phtsys and phtdta and defragmented both partitions as well already right?

I've been using the Seagate 100gb since the day we were able to do this hack. Once I got the music on there a while back I haven't touched it at all, I haven't even put it in the cradle.

I haven't chkdsk or deftramented it ever.

Actually the only time I do notice that the drive seems slow is when I want to here the track annoucement or with my car's head unit I can quickly jump from Track one or Disk one all the way up to 50 and that's when it seems to take some time to catch up.
