8O how/where did you get all of those hard drives from or did you buy them?

 

[proof]

We decomissioned sme servers at work and I snagged some.

lol, sick! Looks badass. No wounder you needed a 750watt PSU, lol.

 

[proof]

Yeah, that and my future QX6700 and second 8800GTX. Maybe 2 more GB RAM if the budget allows. Pretty much spent for now.

access time benchies or peak usage that you could run?

I'd love to see file transfer's on that thing....

show some love, post some stuff

8O That's gotta be..... NOISY!!!!

Yea it's definately really really fast, but a Seagate 7200rpm drive is loud. 15k rpm?? Wow!! Can you run HDTune on one of the 15k drives for us? Thanks!

 

[proof]

Sure. I already have. Let me dig up my scores.

Yo, nice benchmarks mate, but, and no offence here, but I feel it's a bit pointless to dedicate a whole game to a 36GB HDD. I mean, I know why you're doing it, but 36 GB for games that are like 5gigs (MAX) is a bit over-kill and a waste of space. I know you also got them free, but still!

I am not saying it's a bad idea or anything, but just seems like a waste to me, and not just of space. I'd run all my apps off of one. I use Photoshop, Cinema 4D and Dreamweaver a lot, and I'd just install all my multimedia apps on it too. Guess you don't have those tough, eh?

 

[proof]

True.

I was actually rethinking it myself.

OS (SCSI)
Swap (SCSI)
Games (SCSI)
Applications (SCSI)
Storage (x2 SATAs)

[cutthroat]

Do you need ear protection to be near it?

Holy crap, must be fast anyway.

 

[proof]

Bet your ass it is.
