Nice, I got the 74gb raptor, max bandwidth is a bit useless but random seek time is still quick.

What I really want however is an SSD, that should blow even a raptor out of the water.

Check out the OCZ SSD range: http://www.ebuyer.com/cat/Hard-Drives/s ... ard-Drives

They are very affordable and made by a company well known for performance hardware. Haven't got one yet but am planning on as soon as I can afford ;)

Heh... but £90 for a 30gb is the cheapest I've seen for any SSD, and that's plenty space for Windows and CSS ;)
