    Western Digital picked an extremely appropriate name for its new 10000 rpm (rotations per minute) hard drive. Dubbed the VelociRaptor, this new drive, introduced today, screamed through our performance tests in the PC World Test Center. Read more...

    Hope it solves the data transfer problems.
    At the speed of 89 seconds to write 3.06GB of files and folders is simply amazing :)

    I just bought the 2 year old crusty regular old Raptor :( :p

    I do notice a considerable difference between that and my regular old 250GB 7200rpm drive though :cool:, between that and the dual channel matched ram I bought I'm screaming like a banshee on fire
