No. Again... Buy an SSD drive for primary and a conventional HDD
for secondary. Keep Windows and programs on the SSD drive, and
keep all other files on the conventional HDD. The Raptor would be
good for the secondary drive, but a common 7400 RPM drive would
be acceptable.

For $664.00 seems rather slow and way over priced. Doesn't even support
SATA3.

Look at the Corsair Force Series, OCZ Vertex 2 or LE using the Sandstrom
controller or the Intel X25-M in a size large enough for the OS and
some apps. Use a cheap 7200RPM hard drive for storing data files.
