Your probably better off running your games off something like a Raptor.

Hell, for a little bit more I would go for 2 of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148298

My coworker has this setup in a Stripe Array(RAID 0) and when we were playing with Sony Vegas he game me a run for the money. If you want to throw your money into one drive why not wait for the 300Gb VelociRaptor. I'm thinking of selling my Raptors just so I can get one of those sweet, sexy.....Sorry about that!

so i see the seagate it is have a good cash 32m but low rpm 7200

[farlex85]

There aren't any drives that do sata and have more than 7200 rpm and 150gb, and the only one that fits that bill is the raptor x (10000rpm and 150gb), so your not gonna get 500gb. The veloci raptor is supposed to be out in a couple of months, which is 300gb, and faster than the current raptor, a couple of those would be blazing at 600gb.

Unless your gonna wait for that, I would go w/ 2 of the raptor x's for your main os, but they run at $175 a pop, not exactly a bargain, but they are definately quick. Or those seagate's are solid, or a couple se16 wd 640's in raid would be super quick too (they only cost $10 more than those seagates).

check this out - theres been a lot of news flying around about the Samasung Spinpoint F1 series hard drives - they make them in various sizes but its really the 500GB+ ones which have the better performance

the 500Gb version is a lot cheaper & beats the raptor in virtually every test

highy recommend

::EDIT::

for some reason - even when magazines say a HDD is awesome the internet says something completely different...think alot of sites are bias towards the raptors Meh..... anyway - the link is there. any additional re-search you can pick up yourself
