Two of these in RAID0 for under $300 would probably spank any SSD short of the freshly price-reduced Intels at $400 for 80GB.

 

[disports]

makes it about $145ish including tax for me..certainly tempting.

Or pay 50% more for 100% more space on the Best Buy 300GB deal

 

[iroast]

This would be great for RAID0 as Zap stated. I have the 300gb version...partitioned... :-/

ne mailer this am has the drive for $150 ar...

 

[RallyMaster]

Still cheaper on Dell.com though.

 

[cubeless]

not debating that, just threw that in for ne fans and/or if dell runs out...

Wow newegg just posted one for $150 on it's email circular today too. I wonder if WD is trying to clear these out for something or it's just sign of the times?

Does anyone know how loud these things are? I have a 74GB Raptor and it is definitely able to be heard. It is the first hard drive I have had in 5 years that I can actually hear.

Mine's really quiet (300GB), and wicked fast!

It's the only hard drive I've known to wake me up at night. My ex-roommate had one and whenever Vista was indexing, it would wake me up. God I hate those darn drives.
