Spend the rest on a party.
And if your buddy buys a raptor, slap him for me. The raptor is doodoo. But a velociraptor
Velociraptor's FTW! If you're going to buy a current 150GB raptor, ya might as well buy a 750GB Seagate 7200.11. Nearly as good of a performer.
No.
Not a 750GB. Everyone recommends this, but I don't know if many people have purchased one like I have.
It is shipped with bad firmware and which causes the cache to be 0 MB, so you instantly have to write down you S/N and call tech support. I've been pretty ****ed at Seagate for this mess. And the firmware that supposedly works (not nearly as good as on the 500 GB models) is just in BETA.
There is a reason why the 7200.11 750GB costs almost the same as the 7200.11 500GB.
Currently the 750GB 7200.11 at 130$ is the best bang for ur buck since it gives u 5.8GB/$1
while the 500GB 7200.11 at 100$ gives u 5GB/$1
That is true, but the 500GB is a better hard drive. Right now I can't even load up COD4 or HL2 on it because it is so slow. My 4 year old Hitachi with 8 MB cache is faster than the 7200.11 with the bad firmware.
I am waiting on Seagate right now for "authorization" (lol) to download the new firmware.
