Ok guys looking into a velociraptor 300GB. Its so hard researching this topic on google because you see about 50/50 reports of people saying they really don't make much difference at all on performance and then others say its like night and day. I'm not really concerned about load times of windows. Windows loads fast enough now. I use Visual Studio 2008 and VMWare extensively and both are very hard drive intensive. Visual Studio is just a hog on the hard drive. Ive heard certain people say their system just seemed a whole lot snappier with a velociraptor. I'm not interested at this point in SSDs. They are to expensive and i want to wait for SSDs to mature anyways. So do you think a velociraptor would make that much difference over say a WD Black?
Yes i could go and read review/benchmarks but benchmarks don't in a lot of cases, equate to real world performance improvements.
thanks,
