Hard drives
Hard drives aren’t usually considered to be a sexy upgrade, but spend your money wisely and you should see a significant performance boost!
When it comes to the Raptor/RaptorX (the difference being that the X means a clear cover), I’ve made a complete U-turn.
Initially I viewed them with suspicion, thinking that they were little more than a gimmick, but now I have at least one fitted into each of our main systems here. These drives aren’t cheap and don’t come offer much capacity, but they are fast!
Price - about $170 for the 150GB RaptorX
If you’re looking for a fast drive that offers high capacity, then take a look at the Samsung Spinpoint T166 500GB drives. Because the T166 has three platters, the data density is high, which in turn means great performance.
They’re also quiet.
Price - about $110
