I currently own and use a WD 400gb hdd, and i must say that i am very disappointed with the performance. I feel it is bottlenecking my pc. So i have close to $200 to spend and i was looking at the WD 750gb AAKS, which according to Tom's charts is the best price/performance and beats the 150gb raptor in almost all cases. Now these numbers that the charts show me don't really mean much to me.
So i am asking, based on experience, does either the WD 750gb or the 150gb raptor offer a significant performance increase over my 400gb? By significant, i mean a difference that i will clearly notice at first glance. I'm looking for faster response time, faster read/write, and even faster startup.
Please give me some advice on whether i should make a purchase, and if so what hdd should i buy?
Thank you all for your time.
