Why does no one use them? I mean, I am sure it has to do with storage size and cost, but those people that are looking for 1 HD for performance and 1HD for storage, why do they get raptors? Is it all because of cost?
Here is what I'm thinking
36GB Atlas 15k 15000RPM HD- ~$150
and I see SCSI cards for like $30, do you need a decent SCSI card or will any old card work? Are these $300 cards for specific tasks or what?
anyway, so lets say $150 HD and $50 SCSI card. and then you have 36GB which seems plenty big for Windows and a few of your most used programs.
It just seems like you would hear more about these drives in an enthusiast forum like this if they were good. Or people would suggest them for those guys that are looking for $5000 computers.So why doesn't anyone use them? Compatability issues? Do they just not perform as good as you might think?
