New HDD RAPTOR. 1st time.
Tatsujin:
With Windows 7 OEM around the corner, I was recommended by other people to do a fresh install. I'm seeking some advice on RAPTOR HDD's. So anything would be helpful. I'm going to install Windows 7 on a fresh HDD and will not split that driver to any partitions. So far, these are the ones I've been looking at:

Well, only one so far. The other one is same features but 150GB and its like 50 dollars less. Why not add 50 more dollars to get 150GB more? Pretty good deal. The other HDDs I'm going to be purchasing for internal work stuff, music and what not are:

Which is honestly, for 110 dollars 1.5TB from WD is a big damn steal. Price will probably drop even less by the beginning of next year.
Main focus should be on Windows 7 and the new HDD. I have no experience at all with Raptor drivers but I heard they are best used for install your OS on them. The 15000RPM one only had WD listed as 800 dollars which is too fucking insane to purchase. That thing should be like 300 or 400 dollars.

Raptor drives aren't worth the cost unless you're loaded. All it will do is lower your boot time from 20 seconds to 10 seconds, and cost 3-4x more. Also since they are still moving parts, the raptors die faster because they work harder. If you're in the market for fast drives, go ssd. It's the way of the future.
