    installing a raided pair of raptors majorly improves system performance. ONce they drop to a reasonable price i plan on buying a pair for my system partition and running my ide's as mass storage.

    I was looking for real world experience only over benchmark testing I've seen all over and this is it. Thanks Major and others who have the drives!

    My same issue. I want a 74 but I could get 2 160gb drives for that cost.

    There is also a maxtor drive out (250gb and 16mb cache) that is reported to be the fastest 7200rpm drive ever and space may be an issue. It may be a good middle ground.

    TY all.
