and sometimes when I have all 4 drives plugged in(the two new WD's, the Maxtor, and the Raptor) the Maxtor will disappear too. I don't know if it's trying to RAID the Raptor and the Maxtor together, but regardless....when I have the Raptor in alone nothing...

raptors? should I raid the raptors for my gaming or leave them?. I am building new rig. I already have 2 Raptor 300gb drives and wasn't sure if I should raid them or let them be. I want a different drive for my OS and already have a raptor 150gb in an older...

getting a PCI card offering SATA Raid, after reading the 'Raid 5 tests', I was interested in the Promise FastTrak s150 - are the benefits of this card enough over onboard raid? Also important - what drives should go with the RAID, is the Raptor really worth...

than one SSD? By the way - when you use two 74GB Raptors in RAID0, your OS and applications are split between the two drives - so you have 148GB of capacity to use for OS and applications - one advantage of going with RAID. Also have you compared RAID Raptors...

tech suppor! ps: all must customers run raid or dual drive raid -- a 3rd drive and 7.2k raid or raptor raid. anyone run it one drive vs raptor vs raid? any difference? thx!. I build systems mostly for traders and gamers - WoW does not get too much...

drivers so as to use RAID (but not for my Raptor boot harddrive, which is NOT part of my RAID array). I did not get this problem before initialising RAID and installing these drivers (although I had other problems resulting from not having proper drivers installed,...

use the WD Caviar RE2 400gb's. They're not that expensive and there isnt't anything special about them in single drive scenerio's but, they're designed to be used in enterprise raid arrays. In raid arrays, they met the performance of raided Raptor 150's and...

Which PC Part/Parts Determine your next build?. Which part is the most integral for you in choosing and building your next generation system? Will you use some of your old parts? Drives? MB? GPU? What is your first choice?. Which part is the most integral...

Maybe Dual Raided Raptors would be better. If i set them up would they need to be the primary drives on the system or could they be used as a raid as the secondary drives. And have a single drive for OS for saftey. And would i still egt the raid speed ect...

benchmark. Can do safely write-tests too since ur on the filesystem. But sequential speeds have nothing to do with short stroking. Well, most benchmarks I've seen are for RAID, raptors, servers, ect. Is there any way to tell what kind of performance I'd...
