    One of the best 3.5" drives on the market. It is not the cheapest or the highest capacity, but for the price and features....it is a great deal. Comes with a solid warranty. Anyone looking at a budget external drive setup, I would highly suggest this model. Take a look at the benchmarks and reviews at Tom's Hardware, etc.

    I agree, putting two of these guys in Raid 1 as a storage solution, but for the OS, the raptor drives are pretty sweet.
