Save money by going with the Seagate Barracuda...

At work I have one of the new Raptor 150GB drives and at home I have one of the Seagate barracuda 7200.10 drives. The raptor is slighty faster, though barely noticable. Nice if you need top of the line performance, but if you don't mind waiting a millisecond here or there, the Seagate 7200.10 models are a great choice. My 320GB seagate was $94 at Newegg, haven't checked prices on the raptor lately, but last I did, it was over $250 for the 150GB version.
