I think you have too much on your boot drive. First key is to have the drive fairly empty. If you've got that much on your system, you might want to get a NAS or server or something.
For a boot drive, a Raptor is going to do very well compared to some of the other drives on the market. If you were dealing with large, contiguous files, the 10k drives or even 7.2k 1TB drives usually offer better performance than a Raptor.
Btw, have you benchmarked your machine with 8GB of RAM vs 9GB?
