The Raptors since the seek time should be lower. However the Samsungs offer a lot more than speed.

so, the samsungs would be faster?

no, the raptors because the seek time is lower. depends what are going to use them for. sustained transfer the samsungs should be faster, but the seek time on the raptors would be lower.

kk, thanks a lot. ill probably get the raptors then

For the money the Samsungs would be a MUCH better deal.

good point, i thought something was wrong when the raptors r £120 a go.

I don't think you'd really benefit with the raptors considering how much they cost per GB. Depends on your storage requirements and budget really, if you don't need that much space and you have cash spare then go for the raptors but if not then get Sammy F1's or the new WD 620 GB AAKS drives.

thnks for the info, gonna get samsung drives
