When I click something on my desktop what is the PC waiting on? Is it my hard drive? It is not slow or anything, I just want to know what I can do to enhance my response time on my next PC. I am thinking about RAID 0 on 4x WD2500KS 250Gb SE16 Drives. Will this compliment my E6600 and 8800GTS more?


Thanks

It is usually just loading the stuff from the HDD into the RAM, which always takes a second. There isnt a whole lot you could do, as the drive has to search for it and then load it. Very very fast drives with very very small seek times would do the trick, in some cases.
 
Scisa Drive Would do the trick,

BUT i doubt you have the Money...

A Scisa drive is 10,000RPM or more where as a regular drive is 7,200RPM

Infact, SCSI drives are capable of 15,000 rpm, and you can buy SATA drives that run at 10,000 rpm. Yes, most 3 1/2" HDD's run at 7200 rpm though.
 
15,000 rpm drives are insane.. guy next door to me has a 6000 dollar gaming rig. with 2 hdd that have that speed.
all he has to do is THINK about my computer. and it opens lmao.
 
wondered about that cuz i went to the first page and saw the date and figured it was spam so didn't even check, then checked for the heck of it and now i'm typing this :D
