Need a new Hard Drive!!!
« on: October 09, 2009, 11:59:42 PM »
All of a sudden my HDD started making a screechy whiny sound so I am looking for a new HDD. I figure if I'm going to upgrade I might as well do it right.

Choice one. WD Veloci Raptor.

Choice two. Patriot SSD.

Both are fast. Both are expensive. So what do you guys recamend? Suggestions are welcome. I will be using it for the OS (Win7) and a few small programs that take up no space.
Don't worry about it.  If it's not good at stock, then it's not good.

Ok I found a better SSD. It is more expensive but it has better read/wright speeds then the Patriot.

So that SSD or the raptor?
