SATA II vs 10k hdd

[ripken2004]

what is better, sataII 7200 or a 1000 sata?

 

[Cromewell]

10k rpm SATA, no HD will run at SATA speeds let alone SATAII

actuallly i just read sumtin and 10k is just a little better than sataII

Transfer Rates
Buffer To Host (Serial ATA) 1,200 Mbits/s (Max)
Buffer To Disk 72 MB/s (Sustained)

10000rpm Raptor specs. Don't know why the SATA is in Mb/s but 1200MB/s = 150 MB/s so even the raptor doesn't reach half of the SATA1 bandwidth.

The raptors burst read speeds can get within 3Mb of the sata1 max.

Yeah easy ... it's called SCSI

The raptors burst read speeds can get within 3Mb of the sata1 max.

Except the burst speed can only last for 8MB since thats the amount of cache on the drive....

Do you always have to contradict me? The point is that the raptor can get within 3Mb of the sata limit. I never said it always does just that it can even if it is only for 8mb of data (thats why it is called burst).

He didn't contradict you, all he said is burst is limited. If we could put GBs of cache on a hard drive then burst speed is a good measure of drive speed, since we can't sustained transfer is the best thing to measure

I guess we just got all picky. My point was that the stata can get pretty close to being toped out.

1. Watch it.
2. If you're going to accuse make sure you accuse correctly.
