A system without a ribbon cable, what a dream!
Having SATA for both the primary drive and CD/DVD drive must have a measureable impact on airflow in the case. Even the wrapped IDE cable are thick heavy beasts. The Western Digital Caviar 750 runs very close to the Raptors in the benchmarks, and is very hard to beat for the price. It is selling in the $150 to $170 range and was the biggest splurge on this box, but I needed the extra storage space at home so it could be justified. We picked up a disk-less camcorder over the holidays and we are quickly chewing up space on available drives in the house. The WD750 also runs pretty quiet which is nice.
It is not expected that the choice of hdd or dvd drive will have any impact on scores.
