SOAB, do I feel like an idiot. They snuck one in under the radar as I
didn't know they made a 150 gig version of the new velociraptor.

And here are the specs for the new 300GB Raptor I am thinking about
getting to install OS and programs on.
- Buffer to Host 3.0 Gb/s max2
Average Read Seek 4.2 ms (average)
Track-to-track Seek3 0.7 ms (average)
Full Stroke Seek3 8.5 ms (average)
Average Latency 5.5 ms (nominal)
Rotational Speed 10,000 RPM
Buffer 16 MB
OK the new one is faster, but a lot faster? the latency number shows
a big improvement but the others maybe 10 or 15 percent improvement.
I wonder if it is worth spending 200 bucks to upgrade. Or am I not
getting something?
Anyone know if there is a difference between the HLFS and GLFS besides
storage capacity?
