Ive been thinking about picking up a DW Raptor:
WD Raptor
Then I saw this Hitachi drive on Sale... Performance is not as good, but the price and reviews Ive read seem to be right.
Hitachi
So what do you think?

Hitachi/IBM drives (based on my experiences) seem to be kinda quirky. I've always had postive exeperiences with WD. Haven't tried a raptor drive yet, but they seem to be very popular.
WD Raptor all the way.
4gig less, twice the price, better seek time, faster speed, longer warranty. And it's been given 5 stars out of more users.
I've seen more problems with Hitachi drives, so the Raptor it is.
Oh, and there's not a 9999 limit on buying them it seems.... :thumbs2:
Another vote for the Raptor. Ditto the above. User ratings are king.
Rapotor is a great drive isn't it. I voted for beer just because nobody else did ;)
Gonna have to save my pennies for a little while longer.
$188.00 is a little more than I can spend right now. But ill get there..
I think the name Raptor is cool, so go with that one.
U know adept is right, Raptor is a good name for a HD, I liked the name Quantum Fireball too and Seagate Cheetah.
Yeah.
Go for one of those virile, macho drives. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif
It seems some ppl disagree and want to go for the Hitachi's, Show yourselves.
Yeah Yeah, super faster Raptor that can tear through the data I need quickly..Quote:

All that technical schmechnical mumbo-jumbo is good too, I guess, but it has to reflect your inner animal side, you know?
