HDD Suggestions

[TehMac]

Ok. So I have an 80GB sATA 7200RPM drive. I'm thinking of upgrading to a new HDD, because games like M2TW (11GB, anyone?) are gunna be huge, and I dun wanna uninstall games to make space for new ones.
So I read in a PCG a while back about WD's new Raptor/ X. 150GB, 10,000RPM, low random acess times, 16MB Cache, looked pretty spiffy. Price is going down too, which is what I like.
So this baby looks like a good upgrade for me, considering it has around 70 more GB (I know about the -7% thing of GB, due to windows calculating space in binary code), and I don't store movies or music on my computer, just a few documents, and games.
And I don't like RAID much, don't really like the idea of if one HDD goes down, everything is lost, and the other RAIDs don't seem to be that advantageous either.
Good buy? (not buying til the Holidays if I'm buying at all.

I wouldn't call a Raptor a good buy. I know some players like it for FPS because it will load up a game map a little faster, but I wouldn't even consider getting one for M2TW.

I'm not just getting this for M2TW, I just need more space, but I like speed and efficency, while not overburdening the HDD with extra space I'll never use up. Thats why the 150GB HDD seems reasonable enough to me.
I am getting Crysis, but the HDD wont do much for that. I like the space and the speed. It seems pretty reasonable for what I want.

Buy a 7200.10 seagate with perpendicular recording. They're pretty fast, big and cheap.

EDIT: Never mind, I found one, pretty neat.
I still am torn between that and the Raptor
