I have the new times for my SCI setup and like I predicted it beats out the raptor.

Raptor Random Access: 8.0ms
Raptor Avg. Read: 64.9 MB/s
Burst: 125.4 MB/s
CPU Utilization: 3%

Cheetah 15k Random Access: 5.7ms
Cheetah 15K Avg.Read: 80.4 MB/s
Burst: 116.5 MB/s
CPU Utilization: 2%

Overall I think a very convincing victory for the Cheetah. Raptor only took the burst speed which means nothing.... I was very pleasantly surpised with the numbers, I will be switching my OS to the Cheetah to see if its a lil snappier.
