- Not for storage, but thanks for the extra gbs...Strengths: Everything you found in the old raptor and more. Weakness: Costly, of course. (Same $$/gbs as Raptor, but 150gb instead of 74) This HD is built for those people who are obsessed with performance, but need more than 74gb. That's all it's for. If you think you need 300gb on a 10krpm performance RAID set-up, then you're missing the point. With a transfer-rate of over 1gb/sec, this beast kicks the pants off pretty much everything else. RAIDed or not, SATA2 or not. On the other hand, I'm only giving it 3 stars for...

Very satisfying performanceStrengths: As fast as everyone says they are Weakness: Only the price I have to agree that the window on the shell is pretty pointless; I've never seen anyone mod their case so that the tops of their drives could be seen. You'd do better to save the $50 and buy the standard Raptor 150. But there's no denying the performance. I put two in a RAID0 array, and although written specs may suggest that won't make much difference compared to just one of these, by itself, I...

The best out there!!Strengths: This excellent hard drive does it all. The Raptor does is it all and does it well! Weakness: None to note at this time. I have two of these sexy drives in raid -0. I love them!! They are the best built drives on the market not to mention their speed. I plan on getting six more as soon as a week from now. Save for them you will not be disappointed.

A fast driveStrengths: Fast Weakness: Loud This hard drive is fast and transmits data at a high rate. Windows loads very fast. I like the low access times compared to other drives. The only drawback is its loud noise.

Raptor X, the enthusiast\\\\\\\'s drive.Strengths: Fast, no problems running two of these in Raid 0, looks tight in the right cases Weakness: Expensive for the amount of space, Louder than most other sata hard drives. Raid 0 with these makes everything run very snappy. I would recommend them to enthusiasts and those seeking the best. There are a few cases out there that show these off like my Thermaltake does. There was still a little modding involved to get the window to be seen. Vibration dampening was a nice touch for these hard drives.

Very hot. Literally. Maybe it's burnin' rubber.
Strengths: SPEED. 16mb buffer, 10K rpms. SATA. Quality. Window is neat. I have this and the ADFD version in Raid0 and they work great but...
Weakness: COST. Not SATA2. Runs VERY hot, about 50-55C. Kinda loud too, recommend rubber seating for sound absorbtion.
For some reason these other two think their review is better. Show me some love? Here's mine. If you can't see the clear window inside of your computer I'd recommened getting the 1500ADFD without the clear cover instead. Save yourself $50. Raptors are fast, but expensive...If you're on a budget I'd take a look at WD's 16mb cache 7200rpm Caviars. I have them in my SLI system and they work great. I...
