I own 29 Western Digital drive, from 300G to 2T. These 2.5" form factor VelociRaptor's are sweet! I am running these as boot drives as e-sata from external docks for 2 different PC's. They fit into my Toshibia notebook, but the bios won't recognize them and I can't boot external with this notebook. I recommend these drives to anyone.

I was running (2) 75gig Raptor hard drives with the OP system on one and other programs on the other, and a third for storage of documents but it would get sluggish when searching for files. So I went to the one 300 gig Velociraptor and combined the two Raptors on it. Oddly enough it seems to me that the Single drive is acually a bit slower than the two drives in day to day switching between files and programs, but it no longer freezes during the start of a search. If I had to do it over again I would probably opt for the cheaper high quality 7000rpm drives. Six months and it still works well. It is definately a lot faster than your basic budget hardrive. So if your looking for a speed boost and you don't want to fool around with several drives this is the way to go.
