They are 10,000 rpm drives, that's why i love them. I've used this setup before and it was amazing. I also stated capacity isn't an issue.
Why then, not get Seagate 15K SCSI drives for actual performance?
Yes the drives are spinning very fast. But your data isnt.
Then ill have to correct you: X2-3800s are Manchester chips ... the issue of the extra transistor counts was addressed with the X2-4200
if u are a mega gaming freak i suppose they will give u an advantage,
In load times perhaps but if an extra second or two of loadtime is enough to concern you then you must be running a top notch SLI/Crossfire configuration to start with so yeah .. Raptors would be the drive to fit the bill there.
i can see the difference, especially when installing stuff and uninstalling stuff as well as extracting and recovering.
So can I -- compared to a 8MB 7200rpm drive. But compare it to a 16MB drive and you'll see quite a difference
if u can afford it and dont need the large amounts of space. y not
1. Because not everyone can afford SCSI.
2. By that logic, you can afford a lot of things that dont have a lot of space.....
*exercises selfcontrol*
I've seen a huge difference and am doing the RAID again because it's all about spindle speed.
*yet another exercise in selfcontrol*
I see a difference in almost everything like copying files, loading games, searching for files, etc.
*Self control fails* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Lol thanks, i needed that.
Yep thats what im doing. Getting one WD Caviar 250GB 16MB, Then another later on RAID0. Should be fun!
Just dont expect gaming performance to jump
I forgot to add..... In those benchmarks, it's only 1 10,000 rpm drive. I'm speaking of 2 of them in a RAID which would enhance the performance of the drives 10 fold. Maybe side by side, not that big of a difference, but in a RAID, completely different story.
Hahahaha oh god this is to much
Oh god the laughs the laughs...
