Hi

I want to buy a fast disk as a boot disk.
Which is better the 36 or 74 in terms of quilty and price?

The 74 Raptor is slightly better than the 36.

74gig will run a little faster because it has denser plates that's what i'd go with if money didn't matter that much i think its worth the extra

The 74GB raptor is going for $177 at newegg which is only $67 over the 36GB. From what I understand the 74GB version has better performence.

74 is better, a lil faster, newer, quieter. Install your games on here as well. With new games installing at 5GB each, it wont take long to justify the 74GB over the 36GB.

hehe, i had a 20 gig partition for installing games that i've had for a few years and now w/ hl2 and ut2k3 taking up 10 gigs i'm gonna have to update that partition size

74 is newer, faster, and quieter. I'm getting 70MB/sec read. No partition though. Why are you still doing that when HDs are so cheap now a days.

organization, im actually getting a 74 gig raptor im not gonna partition is- the main reason i partition is to save data on a reformat i keep all my program data even though i have to reinstall all my progeys and just lose the windows partition

Honestly I wouldn't waste my money. I bought a Hitachi 250gb hardrive and I push the button and it is in Windows so fast it is ridiculous. This system is great

The 74's have faster seek times and are ussually quieter. I've got on and I love it.
