Change one component in my system and double my task-completion times in exchange for 11x the storage capacity (at half the cost)... has its pros and cons, I guess. The SATA drive will be fine for video-capture storage as long as it doesn't fail prematurely, but I have no plans to kick the SCSI habit for boot, apps and heavy work. :evil:
I don't have any firsthand results on that faceoff, since I can't blow the price of a Raptor just for curiosity's sake. I'd expect the faster seek times on the Raptor to help it with the stuff I have in mind. How much, I dunno for sure.Originally posted by: airfoil

Mech, now you've got me thinking. How would those SCSI babies perform against say, a Raptor?
