I've used 2 36gb 10,000rpm WD Raptors in a RAID before and loved it. Storage is not a big deal. Is there a better alternative? Price is roughly $230 for both drives. Thanks.

My question:
Why do you want raptors, what advantage do you think you get
My advice:
Ssave your cash; pickup something with a better capacity and a 16MB cache and stop wasting time with these raptors.
 
They are 10,000 rpm drives, that's why i love them. I've used this setup before and it was amazing. I also stated capacity isn't an issue. I'm wondering why this isn't a good setup? If you don't believe so, give me reasons why and what I should go with please, thanks.
 
5 year warranty to boot. :) sig tells all
keep all my samples on these drives, very fast indeed.. at least compared to an old fashioned 7200rpm ata.
 
they are not worth the extra dosh if u are just using the comp for day to day things. if u are a mega gaming freak i suppose they will give u an advantage, but the 7200 rpm drives are good enough
 
i can see the difference, especially when installing stuff and uninstalling stuff as well as extracting and recovering.

I see a difference in almost everything like copying files, loading games, searching for files, etc.

lol, you might have better luck with that. People will see the results they want to see, especially when they payed 3 or 4 times as much as for a regular drive.

I'm curious to how you don't think you see a difference? I guess from a mathmatical stand point, a 7,200 rpm hd compared to a 20,000 rpm hd? I believe it's roughly 40% faster in benchmarks. It's just science.
