the_krasno It will be cheaper to buy 2 of the 100GB drives and make them run in RAID 0, also they will perform a lot better.Reply -
vant Why do people care about sequential speeds so much? It's the random speeds we need plastered on banners. I don't transfer 1GB files every hour, neither do most consumers.Reply
