Well raptors and SAS drive performs about the same if you ask me.

SSD hard drives for the win :). 0.1 access time :p, they make SAs and raptor look old.

not only that, but they also manage a 150mb read and 70-100mb write speeds! with those speeds, it could make load times a thing of the past!

In fact, I was thinking about getting one for my ps3, that way the load times would be much improved

SSD sounds all fine and well, but ....

Early MLC based consumer solid state drives had an issue with writing several small files and reading data at the same time. The Intel MLC SSD is suppose to be the great savior (review coming next week). Some people have reported these pauses to last up to 10 seconds and I have witnessed the situation on other drives. A couple of nights ago I decided to take the Warp for a real world spin in a machine that will eventually serve as my media center, but for the next two weeks it will run as a workstation chopping up very small text files used in PHP web design.

After a couple of days of moving files around, working with the thousands of small files I have encountered the pause issue twice. During both occurrences the system became unresponsive to commands for less than five seconds. This is a great improvement over the first generation drives, but it is still an issue none the less. On the other hand, I can hardly complain about ten seconds when the drive has saved me hours in file transfer time. The amount of time shaved off from opening Dreamweaver a few times makes up for the ten seconds lost.
