you know the maxtor 7200rpm drives with 16MB of cache were faster than the raptors.
raptors are too expensive for the money IMO.
but yes, either a hdd cooler or a dedicated hdd fan is a very good idea. that goes for any drive that spin at 7200rpm or higher.
I would never run my 15K rpm drives if the hdd fans ever crapped out.
