Boot and load times
To test system boot and game level load times, we busted out our trusty stopwatch.

Curiously, the Raptor X's Windows XP boot time isn't anything special. Don't mind the Atlas 10K V's comparatively long boot times here; a good chunk of that time is consumed by the Adaptec SCSI card as it scans the SCSI bus for connected devices.

The Raptor X's Far Cry level load times aren't all that hot, either, although the drive is faster than any other in our DOOM 3 level load test.
