We hate to see “so called fast computer systems” with an expensive CPU; namely, an Intel, because most people don’t even know about AMD and that those who know AMD CPUs are usually not the ones to be easily fooled. The rest of the ”outrageous system” which you can fly to the moon with, has the cheapest mainboard, a no-name RAM, a darn slow hard-disk and a graphics card without a cooler fan?! -It’s 2006 boys, graphics power isn’t only about gaming anymore. Oh and, Stop fooling people!

OK, we feel better now!

The moral of this story: Always do your homework and research every single part of your computer system before you buy. A system can be as fast as the slowest part of it. If you want performance, the second most important element is your hard-disk which is usually ignored and thought to be for storage only.

More about the Raptor X: Because of the reason that WD Raptor is a performance drive and built for speed instead of mass storage, the size is currently 150GB. If that’s not close to what you need, simply get another drive for mass file storage and backup. Doing so will also decrease the risk of data loss caused by a hardware failure, and will let you save precious space from WD Raptor which you can use for games and hungry sound and video editing applications.

WD Raptor® X:

• 10,000 RPM
• 1.5 Gb/s
• 16 MB Cache
• 1.2 million hours MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure)
• The first ever drive with a view. Crystal-clear lens on the drive lets you see the drive in action
• World’s fastest SATA drive, period.

We love it and recommend it without hesitation to anyone who wants the best hard drive out there.
