Well, the drive is pretty sick in terms of performance but you can refer to reviews or people's feedback on it.
However, I have a question about something asthetic yet still a curiosity in my mind that seeks an answer (if possible).
This system is about 1.5-2 months old. Build is:
ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA
Intel E8500 + Noctua NH-U12P cooler
G.SKILL 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2-1000
EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX
X-Fi XtremeGamer
WD6400AAKS 640GB / Pioneer DVR-215DBK
PCP&C QUAD 750W PSU
Lian Li PC-A70 + 6 Scyth S-Flex SFF21F
Zalman MFC1 fan controller
To this I now added the Velociraptor and planned on it when I configured the build.
That said, everything has been a dream so far. Now with the Velociraptor I notice something cosmetic when Vista loads.
You guys know the splash screen (aqua blueish) where it shows your user icon and presents you with the login challenge?
Sometimes as the OS loads, that page will only be half-drawn and then fil in the rest, sometimes momentarily garbled and then refreshed clean, and sometimes just fine.
This didn't happen when the 640gb AAKS drive was my OS drive.
It's like the drive is either soo fast, the OS can't respond in time (yeah right) or somehow it is hanging every so slightly for a split second but it isn't consistent, doesn't hurt anything, only happens there and nowhere else in the OS, and nothing is written to the event logs.
So although only asthetic in nature, any clue as to what such behavior might be caused by?
Also, no changes were made to BIOS when installing the new drive and making it my primary OS drive upon reinstall.
Also, still using the same build of Vista Ultimate 32-bit with integrated SP1.
Thanks
