yes go for two western digital raptors and run them in RAID 0. And if you need more room get something like a 200gb Seagate Barracuda. The raptors will make your system run very smoothly.
 
why is it that people think you need raptors and raid 0 to have a fast gaming computer? A 7200RPM drive is more than sufficient speed.
 
yes it is but if this guy is wants the best then he will probaly want two raptors running in a raid aray. I find my 7200rpm barracuda more than enough.
 
also like compress files like winrar win zip with bigger files ands file recovering with par/par2 is HELL faster i get +200mb/sec as to previous one drive. 400mb + 200

Because not all condom manufacturers have the same level of quality control and accidents do happen. ;)

yes but the transfer rate and the rpm of the drive also makes a difference

Actually Cromewell is still right .... at roughly 5MB/s sustained xfer of an optical drive ... the HDD isnt an issue :)
