What's the best numbers to read on the harddrive charts to pick a fast harddrive for general office work? Except for a lot of surfing I load trading software in the morning and stock charts all day. I've read the avg read/write times and the random access numbers, which are often way different. So what's the best to look at? Thanks.

Dave
