if 5ms is your definition of "smokes" then sure i guess. but in actual user interaction you wont notice it. Maybe loading off of that drive would be 1 or 2 seconds faster but for a 100 dollar price hike for the same size drive it is not worth it IMO. Caviar drives can net you more storage for a much much cheaper price, and you can even fiddle with Striping or mirroring your drives.
IMHO a 100 buck price hike for barely noticeable improvement is absurd, and yes I have used a raptor so Im not just guessing, from my experience I see no justification for the price
