    The newest 7200rpm drives have pretty much caught up with the
    performance of the WD Raptor hard drives, but now WD is upping the
    ante with the new Velociraptor drive.

    The most interesting reviews can be found at
    http://www.3dprofessor.org/Reviews Folder Pages/VelociRaptor2/VR2P7.htm.

    Interesting point - SPECapc scores improve by about 7.5% when
    comparing the Velociraptor and top performing WD RE drive in an
    otherwise identical system.

    VERY interesting point - A single 3.0 GHz Core2 Quad system with
    unbuffered DDR2 memory outperforms a dual 3.2GHz Core2 Quad system
    with fully buffered DIMMs by 9%! (Read both parts 1 & 2 of the review
    and compare benchmark scores.)
