I recently fried my 500gig (to be used in my mac pro) Western digital...
Shipped both the external casing, as well as internal drive back to separate companies which
both honored their warranties. Upon the replacement of my Western 500gig I received a 160gig raptor
should I count my lost of the extra gigs in favor of testing and using a raptor? I have already e-mailed them
regarding this screw up, but maybe it's isn't such a bad thing seeing as how the 150gig raptors cost $239 vs. a $150 priced
drive. What do you all say?

The raptor makes an amazingly fast scratch drive. If the extra drive space isn't necessary then keep the raptor for sure.

Yea I am thinking about that now... Seeing as how cheap drives are these days.
I know I will miss my 500gig though.

Harddrives are cheap, I'd say keep it, make it your scratch/system drive (i. e. internal drive, otherwise you won't be able to harness the power of the Raptor) and once you need more storage, get another large harddrive.

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

I'd be thrilled to get back a $200 150G Raptor instead of a $100 500G storage drive.
