Well we all know its fast.

But how much faster is it than say my 640gb black?

If anyone has an HD tune I'd love to see it and reward you.

Also, if someone has it compared to an SSD in the same price range I'd love to see that as well.

Exactly.

Maybe people will tell you to RAID two smaller drives. But that:
1.) Takes up SATA and Drive space
2.) Isn't as stable.

I love my 300GB (2008) VelociRaptor, makes every program load instantly. (Except for like iTunes or GIMP)

To answer your question, probably twice as fast, judging by this graph. (Only the 1TB & 2TB versions are tested, just guessing)

Also, the VelociRaptor is one of the best in power efficiency, it has the load watts only about 5% higher then "green" drives, but has the idle of a "green" drive. And since the VelociRaptor is faster, it gets the job done faster and can go back to idle faster thus saving power.
