10000 rpm v. 7200 rpm question

What do you expect? The Green Power 1TB models were first seen for over $300- at the end of 2007. Those are down about $130 at the present time. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136151

One dollar per Gigabyte... A bit too much for my likings, normally that would be like 35 cents... You could get a triple raid0 and still be faster for the same money with a whooooooooooooooole lot more space

(disk-space that is; not case-space ^^ )

..It's a 2.5" drive with a heatsink around it?

I want the heatsink, it'd be a better way to mount my laptop drive in my desktop.

I think I'll buy one and throw the hard drive away.

Overall that drive will simply destroy a RAID0 in everything.. Speed, reliability, MTBF.. RAID0 is a total joke.

What about the server HDD's.. The SCSI's?

Seagate makes a killer SCSI drive. mmmmmm

Can I pull out the RAID5 card for a slightly higher price ?

SirKenin · 05-17-2008, 10:24 PM

Heh. All my server builds are RAID5. Mmmm. I'm all about the RAID5.

Once the prices come down even further like seeing a pair of 500gb models for $104.99 each when bought now seen for $89.99 you can't go wrong if you need the drive space to start with. Take a look in a retail chain like CompUSA and compare their outrageous prices to those seen at a vendor like newegg if you will want a large drive.

Gee? since the board here has 6 sata ports I could for for a second sata optical drive to replace the ide cd writer and go for four 1TB GP models and have all the space I would ever need right there. Let's see the next version of Windows both 32 and 64bit editions along with XP and Vista now on plus about 20-30 Linux distros and possibly Mac thrown in. hhhmm.
