New poll to replace the old one, adding in the Raptor 150, taking out the 5400 categories.
To those who own, or have owned a Raptor, you're welcome to provide your thoughts on the drive.
Two words: Wicked Fast.
This thing makes me boot win2k in roughly half the time of my Seagate 7200.7 40GB drive. Silent runner once it spins up, but those seeks are noisy. Don't mind it since they aren't constant, helps me know the drive is running. I'm extremely satisfied.
