| 1248223 | 2011-12-12 08:20:00 | I havent personally had any experience with them but I know that they are the fastest non-ssd drives available (without an external driver thingy). | icow (15313) | ||
| 1248224 | 2011-12-13 00:40:00 | I have a 150gb raptor that I haven't really used as i find 150 to small cause i have so much junk. When i did use it it was great for loading times in games and boot time but other then that i didn't really notice much difference. It must be 4 years old and its still going strong. I don't think its worth it to get a Raptor anymore with SSD drives out there doing so much better. On reviews they seem faster then cheap SSD drives but get beat by anything mid to high cost. |

| 1248227 | 2011-12-13 04:05:00 | I own one of these - they're brilliant for anything requiring high random IOPS, but still definitely not as quick as an SSD. On the other hand, they're also more durable than an SSD. | Erayd (23) | ||

| 1248229 | 2011-12-15 18:54:00 | My 160 GB is still going strong (bought Dec '08). Feel no need to get a SSD. | KiwiTT_NZ (233) | ||
