Cheers guys

I was wondering what all the fuss was about because I don't see that much difference between this and my other HD (Seagate 320Gig).

they are faster but its not something you would go omg at lol unless you were using an old hdd to start with. but liek most things at the top end of technology in the computer world you pay extra to squeeze that lil bit of extra performance out.

raptor is a good drive. i bought it cuz i was fed up with the failure rates of my other drives and went for a raptor since they are supposed to be the most reliable drives one can get bar a scsi drive.
