i have a couple of questions
how does the heat from the seagates compare with the heat from a raptor (under load)
and how about noise? is the raptor more noisy than the 2 seagates?
I need more raptors...

(currently got a Seagate ST318406LW and a Maxtor Atlas 15k 36WLS- SCSI of course )
Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.2Ghz (400Mhzx8) 1.52V (set in bios, 1.47v real) | 4GB GeIL PC6400 4-4-4-12 | Gigabyte DQ6 @ 1600Mhz | HD2900XT 1GB | Enermax Infiniti 720W | Silverstone TJ07-B with custom watercooling | BenQ FP241WZ

right....lets answer Clunk.
Heat, this raptor is much hotter than one Seagate, but that maybe because the heatsink it has is doing a much better job. Those Seagates got hotter and hotter, and this drive gets hot fast and stays like it. It weighs a lot more and the case/heatsin is far closer to my old SCSI stuff than the Seagates. So while it feels hotter faster, that's prolly good as it's distributing the heat. HOWEVER I have a large fan blowing between my hard drives so, they're always fine.
Noise: those 2 Seagates were impossible ot hear....even full load. My Tagan PSU is the loudest thing in my system, by far.
I can just hear the Raptor, when it's loading stuff up. Never ever heard the Seagates.
Raw boot speed it awesome. Apart from BIOS going through faster, as RAID has extra stuff to run through, the actual process of XP booting is much faster.
From power button to running is 33 seconds (Opteron at 2.2 at the mo) and the load wheel turns less than twice Raid was 43 seconds and turned 4 times.

ohh..gotta do figures anyway
From my last tests (one SATA Seagate and then in RAID)
and now I'm pleased to say the single Seagate is still identical to those fiugures....Originally Posted by Zak33 in last thread
so......Raptor?

These Raptors are SATA 150, and frankly, its irrelevent. This system is loading IL-2 SO MUCH FASTER than either the single or RAID Seagates.
It's also faster than my SCSI stuff was
Happy boy....
I've now got one of the Seagates as a data drive, keeping my main drive cleaner and defragged, and the other is going into an external hard drive enclosure from Scan....the plan all along was to see if RAID was worthy, and if not, to get a Raptor (like David the boss told me to do in the first place ) and to use the two SATA Seagates as I am now.
He was right....he alway bloody is

hmmm, your average read seems kinda low, I know they tail off, but even still...Originally Posted by Zak33
and you still got a ways to go to catch my burst
Nox
nm, 66 being average isn't much below what I was thinking.
Nox
thanks for the answers Zak. im going to see if i can dig up a second hand one
seems ebay is good for them at the mo.
Stick with 74gb or higher...not 36's..they're still good, but not as dense in the platters for data, so not as fast.
