i need to use a computer that has a 10k rpm drive so i can see how much faster it would be then mine.. i should of bought it since my drive is making odd noises.. prolly about to fail.


are there any performace benchmarks pinning the seagate chetah to the WD raptor?

73.4 GB Seagate Cheetah 10k RPM Average Read 56.6 MB/s
74.4 GB Western Digital Raptor 10k RPM Average Read 65.0 MB/s
73.4 GB Seagate Cheetah 15k RPM Average Read 66.3 MB/s

RAID 0 2x 74.4 GB Western Digital Raptor 10k RPM Average Read 129.5

(From HD Tach Library)

Seagate 15k $540 > Three 74 GB Raptors = $537
(From Newegg)

And that doesn't factor in the cost difference between SCSI & SATA controllers.

SCSI is dead!
