You know the 1TB Hitachi with 32MB cache has been found to be faster than the 150GB Raptor, and last of 07 a new firmware was released that bumped it even further.

well, with my hitachi scsi drives droping like flies (sorta, lost two this month), i'm a bit leary going with them, though the thought of big storage sounds cool.
