I have a new Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop with T2500 (2x2000Ghz) core duo which I want to use for rather serious music recording: ideally up to 16 simultaneous channels of 24bit/96khz audio + effects.
I want to "replace" the exiting 2.5" 5400 fujitsu with a raptor 150, by using the existing SATA1 (I wish there was a laptop with an external SATA port!) and connecting SATA cable to the Raptor in an external SATA enclosure.
Anybody has any thoughts whether this would work? I mean, would you expect any bottelnecks that would hinder the "normal" transfer rate you'd expect from a raptor connected to a reqular mobo? Also, would an external sata/RAID0 with two raptors connected to a single SATA port speed up the write transfer rate?
Any enlightening thoughts appreciated.
