Hi guys,

I have a 4 year old WD Raptor 74gig drive, I'm sure it seems to be getting slower, the noise really annoys me because it makes a hell of a sound which in vista is annoying because of the amount of accesses vista has with the hdd and the 74gb being small too.

I had read a couple reviews on OcUK for the Seagate Barracuda 320gb

What I need to know is, will the barracuda be quicker than the raptor & quieter? And do you think its worth swapping it?

Cheers in advance
