36.7GB raptors jump in price on newegg

[LoneWolf1]

Isn't the new Raptor supposed to be rated at 37GB, not 36.7GB? 😕

Yeah, sure is. And the fact of the matter is that nobody here (including me) has the answer to that question. Your point?

My point is this (can you follow these steps?):
1) A poster speculated.
2) Someone showed proof that the #1 speculations may not be true.
3) I said that #2 is disappointing, because everyone wants #1 speculation to be true.
4) You complain about #3.
5) I reply saying that you really should have complained about #1.

#5 was my point.

Since nobody knows when the 37 GB Raptors are coming out all we can do is speculate. If you don't like speculation, then don't read/post in speculation threads.

Sure, I can follow steps. Can you?

Your words: This whole thread is about the original poster's question.

No argument.

Now you label this as a speculation thread. I can point out where you just said that if you need me to. So where's the initial poster's speculation? He asked a simple question -- he didn't speculate. So which is it? The original poster's original question, or whatever you want to pick out of the thread now to suit your argument? Pick one, but not both

Your English comprehension-challenged blather is getting old, so I'm done and outta here. Have the last shot if it makes you feel better.

Wow, no reason for this to become an ugly thread. I'm HOPEFUL in looking forward to a new Raptor later this year. Don't rain on my parade. 🙂

b4417-

I was referring to the new 250GB models with fluid bearings, the WD2500PB and WD2500LB (not a 36GB Raptor based on 'new' technology). WD doesn't acknowledge on its website, but shops like NewEgg already have them:

Hiya LBS,

Nasty? Hmmmm... I've been bantering on internet/BBS forums for, what, about 20 years now, and I have to tell 'ya that I didn't even scratch the surface of nasty. 🙂 🙂 But thanks for the heads-up just the same.

FWIW, Dullard and I went to PM on this subject, and let's just say that we have entirely different perceptions of the topic matter at hand. That's cool. Life would be pretty boring if we all agreed on everything.

Happy New Year!
Bill
