Pair of Raptor 36.7G SATA drives

[The_Other_One]

I'm considering upgrading my machine so I have a bit more space. If so, I don't really need these raptor drives anymore. I'm currently just curious how much I could get for them. I'd prefer to sell them as a pair, but individual is fine.

The drives aren't too old(less than a year) and are EXTREAMLY fast. I'll probably be loosing some speed without them... They are also rather quiet to be 10,000RPMs So, just tell me what you're willing to pay. I'll possibly stick them on ebay, but I'm just asking around first, as usual...

how much of a speed different do you think you owuld see from a 7,200rpm 8mb buffer one to your's? Might be nice to install window's onto Any idea on a asking price? To many thigns to buy, I still need to get someone on this fourms Capture card that i told him i would bu unleess he already told it becausse he had to wait for me to long lol.

I'm beginning to reconsider ;P But still, who knows.

Anyway, these things scream. I could get a benchmark sometime, but they are definetly faster than any 7200RPM drive I've ever used!

Some people argue the Maxtor drives with 16M cache are faster. I havn't compared the two, but it would have to be pretty damn fast to outrun these bad boys

how much do you want for them i might buy them for my new computer.

price for one? by the way, this would be an upgrade for me in size

 

[The_Other_One]

I don't know... They look like they go for about $70 used on ebay. So $140 for both?

 

[The Astroman]

Would you be willing to swap them for a 160 gb SATA drive ?

It's this one: http://www.rubyskytech.com/ProductInfo.aspx?affid=9&productid=6Y160M0

+ $?

I also have a PS1 with games lol and an ISDN modem lol if ur interested.

If u want, I could swap that drive and the PS1/ISDN modem for both drives.

i'll vouch for her that they are VERY fast. my only problem is obviously the size... i have about 150gb of total space.. 74 of which is from the raptor.

i thought 150gb of space would plenty since i had lived off of 80gb for a long time, but wow... it doesn't when you don't try to save

The Astroman: Sorry, no trades except for new stuff... I'm not a fan of used harddrives. Hehe, no use for the ISDN, and I sold my PS1 about a year ago
