I have been reading quite a bit about random access time vs throughput for OS drives but I am still unable to come up with a decision.
Right now I am using a very old WD740GD-00FLC0 raptor from around 04'/05' as my OS drive. I'm not concerned about SSD right now as I'm strapped for cash ATM =(.
I'm wondering which of these drives would be faster in terms of Win 7 x64 ultimate boot times:

My own HD Tune benchmark:
Or

Not sure if my system specs are in my sig or not:
Asus P6T (Sata 3Gb/s)
I7 920 @ 3.33
GTX 570 @ 786/2100
6GB DDR3 1600 @ 8-8-8-24 1334.6 MHz
