Try Storage Review for a review of the WD SATA.

Also, be aware that a lot of people are apparently seeing less performance from their WD Raptor drives than expected. It appears WD shipped some "golden samples" to the reviewers, and these may not be indicative of real world results. However, given that many SATA drivers are not mature yet, this may well be a driver problem.

Also, there's a number of people who have found that running two Raptors in RAID drops performance below that of a single Raptor! Again, this may be due to a lack of maturity of the SATA drivers.

Which SATA controller do you intend to use?
