I asked originally in another thread that went unanswered, but it's basically a hardware question anyway, so:
I've been itching to clean things up / reformat, but after reading so many rave reviews / first-person accounts on how great a 10,000rpm drive is, I was wondering if it's worth the $120. Somehow, I doubt it, but that's why I'm asking.
Current setup is two 160gb Maxtor SATA HDs, RAID 0 courtesy of Intel's ICH5 (and a third 80gb WD for backup only.) Would getting a 36.7gb Raptor be worth the money to have OS/Apps on that speed demon, and go from there? I get some awfully conflicting answers on that.
