I've got a 74GB Raptor in my rig at the min.. and for some reason it seems slower than it should.
For example.. extracting a 4.2GB archive on my raptor takes longer than it does on my 8 year old 40GB 7,200rpm Maxtor.
By some margin too!
Sooooooo.... I've been thinking of gettin a new Raptor.. and gettin rid of the one I have currently in my machine..
However I have read recently that some of the latest HDD around are starting to close the speed gap.
So my main question is.. is it worth splashing the ca$h on a new Raptor or should I go for a different, higher capacity, drive?
