    I'm trying to decide on a new hdd I'm about to switch to the sandy setup and want a better HDD I do allot of gaming & Video editing. BUT! I install all my games on my second HDD 1T and it plays perfectly. So this will only be for the OS and a allot of video editing and encoding.

    Western Digital Caviar Black WD7502AAEX 750GB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s

    or

    Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000HLFS 300GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s

    Personally if this is an OS drive I would go with the Velociraptor for faster OS boots and file transfers. However if you need the space then go for the Caviar.
