I'm trying to decide on a new hdd I'm about to switch to the sandy setup and want a better HDD I do allot of gaming & Video editing. BUT! I install all my games on my second HDD 1T and it plays perfectly. So this will only be for the OS and a allot of video editing and encoding.

Personally if this is an OS drive I would go with the Velociraptor for faster OS boots and file transfers. However if you need the space then go for the Caviar.

Let the Leopard Run Free
