It's finally time for me to upgrade from my 34.6GB Raptor! Obviously I've been out of the storage scene for a while.
I want to spend under $100 on a new drive. I'm looking for best performance and so far I've seen that the Caviar Black drives are pretty impressive. I see people saying that the WD6401AALS drives are great because they use only two platters. I also see on Newegg that I can get the 750 version for only $5 more, but if performance is going to take a hit I'll settle for the 640GB drive (It's only 20 times what I have now lol).
Am I barking up the wrong tree or is the WD6401AALS the best bang for my buck? I see the terabyte model is $20 more, but if it doesn't increase performance I'd rather have the 640.
