SATA Hard Drives: Speed vs. Storage

[cherrypie]

The question at hand is quite simple: a 10000 RPM Raptor drive, or for the same price, a 7200RPM Barracuda with three times the storage capacity? To find out, they've taken a couple of 36GB Western Digital WD360GD SATA Raptor drives and pitted them against a couple of 120GB Seagate Barracuda SATA V drives in both single and RAID performance configurations. How did they compare? Check it out here (http://accelenation.com/?ac.id.217.1).
