It will never be fast enough. When I "discontinued" my old 80 gig drives I went from RAID 0 to a single master drive. I have not been content since.

If they came out with SATA II for the raptors I would have bought 2 more and gone gonzo Raid 0 with 4 drives. I trust the quality of them that much. But I'm not going to pay the extra power bill that 3 extra drives at about 30W a pop use.
