WTF did you do to your drive then? Honest Bob has a Raptor and it's had no problems whatsoever, even after he brought it 200+ miles(each way) to a small lan I had.

Powered up... drive was dead, did nothing out of the ordinary. Co-worker did the same. We were pissed.

I've had my raptor for a good 5 - 6 months now. Not a single problem. It blows away any 7200rpm drive. My system feels faster than the P4 3.2ghz machines I have worked with at work. The Raptor makes a huge diffrence.

If your not overclocking go with some of this ram.

$194.

I was fortunate to get it when it was $184 :)

raptors have 5 year warranty and mine has had no issues at all for a year now...your supplier is selling DOA drives...don't blame it on the company making them.
