about how much (in percent) performance will I get more from a 36Gb 15k Ultra 320 SCSI drive over an 80Gb ATA 100 7200rpm 8mb cache drive (the one im currently using) ???? anyone know an approximate percent?
It depends on what you are doing but in benchmarking terms it would not be unreasonable to expect a <A HREF="http://www.storagereview.com/php/benchmark/compare_rtg_2001.php?typeID=10&testbedID=3&osID=4&raidconfigID=1&numDrives=1&devID_0=112&devID_1=209&devCnt=2" target="_new">50-100% perfomance improvement</A>. Whether that will translate into improved productivity / gaming experience is another matter however.
