10.000 rpm drive ss s s s s

[honsbeekgmail]

I see a Western Digital WD360GD 36.7 GB at 10.000 rpm .
One question : Who uses these drives and what heck are they good for the price the are????

V. good seek times and faster than 7200RPM drive transfer rate.

The 72~ Gig Raptor drives are even faster than the 36gig ones.

As for who uses the drives - Any one really, they work best as an OS drive or as a Video editing drive.

I have the Raptor 74gig version. I use it for the boot drive and programs, and then put data and support files on a 7200rpm Maxtor 250gb drive...

I have 2x74GB Raptors in RAID 0. I use my system for gaming and such, but more importantly for video editing. Two 10,000 RPM drives in RAID make video files look like nothing. I am currently working on a video that is 22GB+. Here is a screenshot of the RAID array during benchmarking.

Sorry to say but two cheetah's beat two raptors

 

[dchen2]

oh whoops... tht he was talking about the 74gb raptors . Oh well, looks like I will just be content with my high capacity then (same arguement the 7200 crowd uses ).

 

[pickxx]

high capacity?

I have half a terabyte (580GB)....you have 160GB....lol

 

[dchen2]

Comparing the raptors to older (like 20-50gbs) Cheetahs that is! Well.... I got 360 internal plus 250 external... so there, I am only down 70 then.

LOL. I've got about 530GB of total capacity (1x 250GB, 1x160, 1x120), but that's about to change to about 700GB once I receive my 2x 74GB WD Raptors from newegg.

As for what I do with all that space? Hmm... well some of it's pr0n and music. But the rest is definitely not for video editing. I'll let the rest of you contemplate what the rest of the space is for. :twisted:

I know my 900G's are overkill, but i absolutely hate having to burn DVD's for backup.. they take too much space (And I'd never find 'em when I'd need them :? ). The space is mostly taken by music, movies, games and series..

Im pondering whether i should get a Raptor as system disk.. but taking into account that I'd get a hellova lot better gfx card for the price, i think I'll just let it be for the moment... BTW, anyone have a x850XT PE AGP for sale for ~200€?
