Quickest single drive solution

[Relentless81]

Hi

I'm after a main drive for a gaming machine, I used to use Raptors but apparently they are not as good as they used to be

Basically I dont want to spend more than £150, it doesnt really need to be more 100GB i'd rather have speed than capacity for my main drive but not really anything less than 100GB

As i'm building a new gaming PC i've spent a lot of time reading up on most things but HDD's really do escape me, I almost bought the 150GB VelciRaptor for £130 but someone on the internets said there is much better out there, what that much better is I dont know, any help please?

Oh and to add to the complications the board will be SATA3 so I dont know if I can take advantage of that with anything in budget

Thanks

Samsung F3 range are very fast.

Quicker that Western Digital VR?

Get an SSD for your OS and an F3 for everything else. Velociraptors are just a stupid price for what they are, barely any faster than any other HDD and way behind SSD's.

Western Digital have some Sata-3 disks around at the moment.

Andi.

I'm really not fussed on SSD, it needs to be 100GB or over and under £150

I need to understand whats better, a high performance SATA2 and if so which ones or one of the few SATA3's if they are in budget
