Do sometghing in PhotoShop. Or Logic. Or something where a lot of data is moved around. You'll see the speed.

I already have an external 1tb hard drive and another 160gig external hard drive. But in my mac I only have an 80gb hard drive, so I want something a little bit bigger, but definitely don't need 500gb

Put a solid state drive in and it will feel a lot faster. Gonna cost you though:o
