What to replace raptors??

[BENdage]

I am thinking about some new drives for the system in sig. I'd like to replace the 2 36gb raptors with some SATA2 drives with NCQ to keep the speed up. A bit of extra space would be nice, but not too much of an issue as I have a file server over my network. I've got a bit out of touch with what is available recently and was hoping you could make some suggestions for a max of £150. Storage really isnt much of an issue, I just want performance. The system is used for gaming, video conversion, web browsing, uni work, a bit of everything really.

Thanks, I put it in the cases thread when I did it this time last year. Its my next upgrade I'm trying to sort now.

I thought I'd read that lots of drives were faster than the 36gb raptors now? Ones with SATAII/300 should outperform surely? If they're still as good as I can get, I'll put the extra money towards some graphics cards...

edit: Found the review, its in custom pc mag. The Deskstar T7K250 seems to perform better on paper

Ok, thanks for the help. I think i'll stick with the raptors then. That cuts the cost a bit
