just got back from a craigslist transaction...

Sorry to steal the thread, but I have a question. What exactly is the difference between the older Raptors and the newer Velociraptors, except the heatsink?
 
People on craigslist don't want to trade anything for electronics for some reason. Been trying to get rid of my computer.
 
Raptor:
SATA 1.5 Gb/s
10,000 rpm
Cache: 16MB
Average Seek Time: 4.6ms
Average Write Time: 5.2ms
Average Latency: 2.99ms

Velociraptor:
SATA 3.0 Gb/s
10,000 rpm
Cache: 16MB
Average Seek Time: 4.2ms
Average Write Time: 4.7ms
Average Latency: 5.5ms
 
Raptor:

Velociraptor:
SATA 3.0 Gb/s
10,000 rpm
Cache: 16MB
Average Seek Time: 4.2ms
Average Write Time: 4.7ms
Average Latency: 5.5ms

I'm assuming the 1.5Gb/s extra makes up for that latency or something like that?
 
I guess. It's looks to be more of an interface and cooling improvement with a slight increase in performance.
