Hi,
I'm wondering what's going on with the next-generation of Raptor drives. I loathe buying more of the WD1500 series drives, as they're really starting to get a bit long in the tooth. They're still not even SATA 2.0. Well that doesn't matter so much, except that we see EVEN the new 1TB Hitachi drive *beating* or tying the Raptor in most all benchmarks, so Western Digital is going to have to do something. The current Raptor generation is at the end of its life before obsolescence. Bad time to buy.
With a 1 terabyte drive that's just as fast as the Raptor, what's the point of even getting one? I'm waiting for the next generation of Raptors to come out which are not just "fast", but 2007-fast.
Any word on this?
