Size isn't everything. When I show you my 1.7 second boot time, I'm pretty sure you'll agree :P!

And, yeah you're right, it's 4.5ms access time.

uhm.. if/when i got a raptor.. I wouldn't be using the 45g drive and probably wouldn't be using the 80g.. it'd slow things down and I can't afford it. Not to mention that the raptor is too expensive, loud and hot for me.. and the $/GIG ratio is simply ghastly. The seagate sata drive is the real winner.

oh give me a break.. you were telling me how saving up for the raptor is a good deal and that it's not loud.. it's a 32 db screamer.. (for me that's too loud for a HD) you had mentioned the seagate but then changed your opinion. I liked the raptor even though it was a colassal ripoff until i saw how loud it is.

Ok, thanks for making up things and claiming I'd said them.. This is going on pretty rampant..so step off and stop trying to to look for something to accuse me of.. you dont own this forum. Also, do using those gay emotcons make you feel cool? Sorry, but don't post your dreams that you have about me telling us what I said that aren't true.
