I went from a Seagate 300GB Barracuda to a new raptor on my HTPC/torrent box.

Wow. It's like as fast as this:

Only less crashes around Europe!

wouldn't they be kind of noisey for an HTPC?

Storage review numbers show that not only is this the fastest Raptor yet, it's also the quietest (37.6dB) and most power efficient!

Only 2 hard drives score lower on the noise test, the 1TB from WD (which I got 3 of em) and the 500GB from Samsung.

Not just another pretty face.
