How fast are the 150Gb Raptors?

I'm pretty sure, reading a few things about the hard drives, that the burst speed means nothing, but the read speed and write speed is more important am I correct?

Either way, for me personally, my Samsung might be a bit slower on the Random Access part, but I really dont see the want to have one, because of the extra speed?? I just personally dont think its worth the extra cash :( I mean for example, what would two 80Gb SATA drives manage in comparison?

As I have a 74Gb Raptor at the moment, is there anywhere that I could get a decent second hand one that I could put the two together and see the differences for myself?

I used to own SCSI (I still do I just dont have the hardware as its lent to a 'friend' and I've yet to have it back!! :lol:) but I found with all the cables and adaptors I had to have, it drove me mental. Drives where kinda noisy but god they where quick.

I think seeing things 'in your face' is worth it, as if you can see a difference then thats all the better, if you cant see a difference, then there's no point to having it.

Its one of the reasons I wont be buying a new graphics card until I buy my two 24" TFT screens for my PC's as I wont benifit as such from a faster graphics card than my X1900 XT. I know there are faster cards out there, but at the moment, mines doing just fine :)

accod - do you have any tests that you've done with one raptor and then the other?? If so, please could you post them up for me? I'd like to see the differences...
