Bought this drive a few months ago for $100. I highly recommend it for a casual gamer or enthusiast that can't afford an ssd (like me). It's certainly slower than a SSD, and slower than even a raptor, but it is very good for the value. With the money you can use to buy ssd/raptor, you can get a few of these and stripe them and stroke the drive to around 20gb per drive and get very good performance. There isn't much to say about this drive... it just works very well lol. HDtune reports just under 90mb/s.
