Excellent drive, but a little noisy
This hard drive can move data, and fast at that! Loads applications incredibly quick, makes load times in certain games much quicker as compared to your plain old hard drive. It is a noisy though, as another reviewer said, it grinds. Other than the noise, it works flawlessly. This hard drive has provided 4 years of reliable service and still counting.
Update (5/17/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

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!
