The bit I was reading at storagereview was talking about how the Seagates don't have AAM acoustic management which is what makes them fast, but is also what makes them a tad more audible. For a normal rig where silence isn't the main priority the 7200.10's gotta be a clear winner.

Means nothing unfortunately. The STR on the new WD of yours eats both the Raptor and the Seagate. Nice drive there dude.

Wow that's a very substantial improvement from platters between disks

Coincidently, I just setup raid 0 on my Asus 680i striker since it has 6x SATAII ports i can transfer my OS disk to a 4x SATA raid 0 array for some pcmark05 benching for the team
can you run some benches......Fugger had 4xRaptors in Raid0 with 120 sustained which is probably realistic but these HDD benchmark *****s around here might go nuts as to low performance to which i say get a real raid controller hahah
