Excellent drives
- Pros: Extremely fast, especially in a striped RAID 0 array. I've used them extensively in builds for nearly 3 years with no failures - at least 50 different Raptor drives. No other non-SCSI hard drive array can surpass the performance of the Raptor series. At this price for two of them, every non-economy machine should have them for the OS and performance critical applications.
- Cons: Size at 36.7GB each. However, in a striped RAID 0 array for transfer rate performance, the array appears as a single 74GB drive.
- Other Thoughts: The secondary storage (hard drive) is the slowest component in the machine for most tasks. Every non-economy machine I build has a minimum of two 36.7GB Raptors for high-end performance out of a logical 74GB C: drive. If money is less important, two 74GB or 150GB drives are used. Do not underestimate the impact that a striped RAID array of 10k rpm drives can have. 74GB is more than enough space for the OS, performance critical applications and a few games. Use a larger and slower secondary drive for other games, music, videos, etc.
Very Happy- a little loud!!!
- Pros: I have had WD HDs in every single build. I rarely have any problems with them. I've only had this for a day. performance wise, its great, super fast and not so affordable.
That's the price if you want to play. My first ever SATA product. I was hesitant but O my, it was worth every penny!
- Cons: The darn thing is so heavy!!!

check it out. photos included!
I own 8
- Pros: I am running 2 4X raptor raid 0 arrays.I would not buy 8 of them if they did not perform to the highest specs.Great for single system drives too. A TAD louder than 7200rpm. When I spend that kinda money I want to hear them ROAR!!!!
- Cons: $$$$$
