What The Difference Between Raptor 36GB / 74GB / 150GB?

Could anyone tell me which one of these drives is the fastest and which one makes the least noise, also is there much difference between the old 8MB cache ones and the new 16MB cache ones? :confused:

After checking on the internet further I have heard that that the new 36GB ones are the worst and some people say the new 74GB ones are the best and others say that the 150GB ones are best. :confused:

I will get either the new 74GB one or the new 150GB one but does anyone have any details on how they compare, except of course in storage capacity.

Thanks for the advice. There is a lot of difference of opinion it seems on this issue but the balance seems to be towards the 74GB so I think i'll get that one and then upgrade to another later maybe.

Or should I get the one with NCQ as the 74GB one doesn't have that feature? :confused:

Is that the new 74gb raptor or the old one? dam I keep having to change my mind. :confused:

I'll get the 150GB drive then if you say they are identical except the size. Thanks.
