Customer Review: Excellent Disk Drive
The Raptor drives are simply awesome. Great speed. Great Reliability. I have mine in a RAID 0 configuration, and the speed is just screaming. With the arrival of the newer VelociRaptor drives, these older generation drives have become very affordable, and they still beat 80% of the drives out there right now! Their only down side is that they are noisy - they grind and grind. Still I wouldn’t trade em … well, maybe for the VelociRaptor … Buy Here
