no at least not for 150GB is more than $1 if you talk /GB on new raptor.

If you raid it, it should be faster than the 150GB velociraptor...
and they won't be loud at all, unless you use them in silence machine?

A pair of good 7200rpm drives can be had for less, will perform as well as, or better than a pair of these, and will give you 5-10 times the space.
Only real pro is the raptor's reliability/warranty.

RPM, in and of itself, doesn't mean much at all.

I highly doubt that...especially the 2 drives listed under your spec. especially when it comes to application that seek time is more important, the 2 you listed won't even come close.

Its all about random access time, at that even these old 74Gb raptors will be faster then your HDs.

Until you've used two raptors in RAID 0 you really shouldn't comment. You can look at all the benchmarks you want that say how 7200.11 drives are just
as fast or faster. I've owned raptors in RAID 0 and I've owned 7200.10 in RAID 0. The raptors feel quite a bit faster.

I would say for Raptor yes.
if you want cheap storage, no....don't even look at raptor if you want cheap storage.
Do you need raptor ? no.
