T The Amish Kid Fully Optimized Messages 2,059 Jan 7, 2007 #2 The hard drives that are closest to the raptor in terms of speed, as far as I know, are seagates 7200.10 hard drives. These are the hard drives that use perpendicular recording. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148140
