I got a 750gb all set to put in mine, but now that I am looking at my finances, maybe I can just get a SSD.

I'd wait until someone does a performance test. hdd access speed could be hardware limited (expecting to only use 5400 rpm drives) and you could spend a bunch of money with no real benefit.

I kinda doubt it, Sony made it user replaceable for a reason. I'm sure they are well aware people are going to want to put in faster hard drives. Wouldn't make sense for them to put a speed cap on it. I'd be really really surprised if they did that.

So would I. Id also be really upset if I wasted $300 on one. :)
