Lower Price! New Raptor 74Gb HDD - $140 (incl. shipping)

ArkiStan · 09-17-2005, 03:32 PM

I'm selling a brand new Raptor 74Gb HDD (10,000 RPM). It's the bare drive, so no cables, box, or instructions. Just the physical drive itself. It's completely new, still in its anst-static bag. I am accepting payments through Paypal. I will send the shipemt fed-ex ground once payment is received.

$155 (includes shipping)

I currently don't have any rating reference for reliability. All I have is my gotapex screenname. Only contact me if you can trust me solely on that.

That would be good enough for me, old-timer.

But I'm not in the market for the drive.

Dumb question maybe but is this SATA or SCSII?

bachviet · 09-18-2005, 08:52 AM

SATA running at 10000RPM

Lowering price.
$155 --> $140 (fedex shipping included)

still brand new in anti-static packaging.

Hmmm, I guess I could help an old GAer out and get it to have as an OS boot drive... and throw on counter-strike as well.
I can put all the other crap on my puny yet massive 7,200rpm SATAs.

Would I see any performance increase in boot times or load times?

First of all,thanks to GAM for editing the thread title.

Here are some reviews on the performance of the Raptor HDD.

It's maybe the fastest non-SCSI option today making it ideal for desktop system drives. This drive was designed for one thing only: SPEED.

Bump
I read the reviews, LOL the competitors arent even close!
