Hi ,,,, Looking for a gaming hard drive/drives. Was thinking of getting one for now and setting up raid system at a later date. Found these 2 hard drives as i need half tidy size too, or are they the same. What you think or do you know for better.

Think i would go down to 150Gb/120Gb. Seen a few very nice ones WD raptors) but they only 74GB and i can't afford the price of 2 of them. Dont want to spend more than £120
Thanks for you time >>> doj <<<

very fast for it size but not as fast as the Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB http://www.pricegrabber.co.uk/search...terid=16831442
It will have to come down to do i want that faster loading speed or Transfer Rate and Gb. Thanks for your time << doj >>
