    The ones you have probably aren't 5,900 RPM drives though... And they still don't have the 5 year warranty of WD Black drives.

    Ah, well Hunter's looking for an OS drive. At least, he hasn't said otherwise.

    Shouldn't he be getting an SSD for his OS drive? He did say he wanted a "fucking beast computer", after all.

    If he has enough money to shat.

    Personally I would just prefer a fast RAID 1 old style HDD OS Drive System over overpriced (but awesome) SSDs.

    btw, Linux and SSDs =3

    You mean a fast RAID-0? RAID-1 is mirror, doesn't really provide much of a performance boost.

    And yeah, Hunter if you can afford to buy an Intel SSD for your OS I'd do that + 2TB Western Digital Caviar Black.

    Fast was referring to decent RPM and Raid 1 for security. At this time I wouldn't throw money out the window to buy a whimpy 128GB SSD unless you know you are going to dedicate that computer to a certain task.

    Well, I know of several options...
    1. Get two 7200 rpm hard drives and RAID 0 them. (if your motherboard supports it).
    2. Get one 7200 rpm hard drive with lots of storage for date (media and smaller applications) and a SSD to store the OS and your favorite games and even large programs.
    3. Buy a massive solid state drive for $1,000. (highly discourage).
