4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent drive, but a little noisy, October 31, 2009
This review is from: Western Digital Raptor 74GB SATA/150 10K RPM 8MB Hard Drive (Electronics)
This hard drive can move data, and fast at that! Loads applications incredibly quick, makes load times in certain games much quicker as compared to your plain old hard drive. It is a noisy though, as another reviewer said, it grinds. Other than the noise, it works flawlessly. This hard drive has provided 4 years of reliable service and still counting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Disk Drive, January 19, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Western Digital Raptor 74GB SATA/150 10K RPM 8MB Hard Drive (Electronics)
The Raptor drives are simply awesome. Great speed. Great Reliability. I have mine in a RAID 0 configuration, and the speed is just screaming. With the arrival of the newer VelociRaptor drives, these older generation drives have become very affordable, and they still beat 80% of the drives out there right now! Their only down side is that they are noisy - they grind and grind. Still I wouldn't trade em ... well, maybe for the VelociRaptor ...

2.0 out of 5 stars okay but do not use as primary with Vista 64, April 3, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Western Digital Raptor 74GB SATA/150 10K RPM 8MB Hard Drive (Electronics)
Vista 64 will consume nearly all of the space on this drive as it create loads of files in order to opperate in 32 and 64 enviros. You will be left with about 10g of space after a little bit. It really is not that fast but it is cheap. And, it is 74gb not 740gb as it shows in the title.
