Hello folks,
I am running a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (Perpendicular Recording) 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive. I have been wanting to upgrade it for over a year now and I think I am ready to break down and buy a 150 GB WD Raptor drive. I know the raptor has been out for a while, and I am not sure if it is at the end of its production life. I have not heard anything about a NEW Raptor either. Is this drive still worth buying? Should I just wait and see what come out over the summer? I only need this drive for game installs and my basic programs including my OS. All other files are stored externally. Speed is all I am looking for. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks!!!
