The velociraptor is the same price but delivers good performance "all of the time". Although the price per mb is a-lot higher $129 500gb momemtus vs $129 150gb velociraptor


I thought the raptor I had back in the day was 15,000rpm... why are they only 10,000 now?? And the seek time is down to 3ms? I believe mine was 5.4 or so .. still was a whole lot better than IDE drives
