You don't have to just look at the read and write speeds, but the access timings, as SSD's are very low if not 0. Which is why they are a lot snapper. Bit-Tech had a good blog post on it here http://www.bit-tech.net/blog/2009/06/18/2009-the-year-to-buy-your-ssd/ A great deal on a 60Gb here http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?SAM-SSD64M 2 of those in RAID would be great. If you need the space then another Raptor will be good, but if you can live with 110 Gb then get 2 60Gbs and use the raptor for storing large files that need to open fast.

Lol I know WPI went from 5.7 to 5.9 which is the same as a Raptor 160Gb, so not bad for 2 £40 HDDs I havn’t really done any benchmarks, should have done, but didn’t! Lol
