My dad and I have been saving up money for this for a long time. We are not rich. I will not discuss money here. :-X

No they're not. But two Samsung F1 in identical RAID setup will be faster (for read/write)  The only thing Raptors have is faster access times.

Faster - Yes, but, when you are into gaming...you need space.
300Gbs is perfect. 140...not so much (even if it was faster.)
