I chose to get the 74GB Raptor and the 250GB Hitachi as a backup and
file storage drive. I will create a 75GB logical partion on the
Hitachi to be solely used to back up the Raptor. The Raptor has a
five year warranty and the Hitachi a three year warranty.

This is the only part is disagree with. Theres been a lot of raptors going
bad recenty, if your looking at it for disk access performance, then get 2
identical 250Gb disks and run them on a RAID controller
