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!

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

http://www.storagereview.com/php/benchmark/suite_v4.php?typeID=10&testbedID=4&osID=6&raidconfigID=1&numDrives=1&devID_0=360&devID_1=249&devID_2=306&devCnt=3

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.
