| no need for scsi or raptor HDDs. Just settle with some sata hdds. I like seagate as they are very silent, and good quality.

| raptor has same 8mb cash as other sata hdds. The 10k rpm just makes it faster. Itl open, load stuff faster than a 7200 or 5400 rpm HDD. (like loading maps for games for example)
