Fastest non SCSI drive available.....
Built several performance systems using these drives in a RAID 0, dual Raptor drive configuration, with a generic sata for backup/ storeage. The only reason to get these drives is pure speed, as the $/gb is not competitive with generic 7200 rpm drives.
That said, typical throughputs (as benchmarked by HDtach) with the boxes I've built are ~135 megabytes per second, sustained (after the disk cache is emptied) over a simulated full disk write - far faster than the typical throughput of ~ 50 m...

Great, fast drive
While this drive does produce a bit more noise than many 7,200RPM drives, consider that it's spinning at 10,000RPM, so more noise is to be expected I would think. And, of course, it also gets a little warmer than the normal hard drive so make sure your case has proper cooling. The rotation speed makes a difference, even a noticeable one. I saw many benchmarks attesting to this fact before purchasing the drive myself, but I knew it was worth it for myself when I saw how fast Windows loaded with t...

I would still recommend a bigger 16 MB cache hard drive
All you will get is a whole lotta noise, and the speed is really not all that , even when I overclocked the sucker. My other PC using a Maxtor 16 MB cache 320 GB Sata 2 hard drive does way better for the same price.
Don't waste you money, for the price I paid I could have bought me a 500GB hard drive with all the partitions I ever dreamed off.
