I've been holding off on the Raptor bandwagon due to the limited sizes available. I finally bit on a 300GB VelociRaptor.
I don't know if the other Raptors were this fast,but I wish I had done this a long time ago.
It has completely transformed my machine. Everything happens damned near instantly.
I did some quick and dirty Before (Seagate 500GB Barracuda 7200.10) and After (300GB Velociraptor) tests with ATTO and HDTach:

I haven't been this wow'd by a simple upgrade in many, many years
