The Raptor destroys SCSI in a price/performance race. Heck, it beats ALL drives in the Officemark High End benchmark. In Bootup and Gaming, it's beaten by SCSI, but only by 10-15%. Servers are still the domain of SCSI, however, which is no surprise. For a few dollars more, maybe I'd bite. For over 2x the price? Not a chance!
FWIW, the servers @ work with RAID 5 15k rpm MAS drives do not feel all that quick when doing one thing at a time (which the performance profile of many desktop users.)
Seagate 73GB 10,000RPM SCSI Hard Drive, Model ST373307LC, OEM Drive Only $339.00
How's that twice the price of $272?
Controller.
A $200+ scsi controller isn't a very good comparison to the built-in SATA on motherboards.
