    Would I see any added performance by adding a 36gb Raptor drive to be my OS/App drive? and then have a 300Gig SATA as my data drive?


    DOes the Raptor drive add much performance upgrade compared to SATA2 drives now? I know it spins faster but what about read times?

    the raptor is faster per se but storage isnt there. I tried a raptor and while it does well it fills quickly when adding games etc. Just go with a sata2.

    I use a 74GB 10K RPM Raptor as my main drive, and an 80GB WD ATA as my "data" drive. Definitely go with SATA2, the 3.0GB/sec transfer rate is much better and you can get a WD Caviar SE 160GB for $50 at Newegg.com.
