I'm wondering if it's worth it to buy a 150gb WD Raptor? My main reasons for concerns are that for a $100 less I could get a drive twice the size and if I want to buy this hard drive I'd have to wait another month to buy the computer/parts it will be used in. Right now I have a 250 gb seagate IDE drive that I'm using on my current computer and I'll use this as a data drive in my next computer. Motherboard will be a P5B Deluxe, I'll probably run Xp until Vista's issues have been worked out and eventually do a dual-boot mode.
