ringfinger Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Curious on what your thoughts were about this. Which drive would be better a 10k Raptor using SATA150 or a drive using SATA II @ 7,200? My bet would still be on the Raptor, just wish there was a 10k SATA II drive out there. Do they even exist? Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 no they dont exist, yetthe raptor will rape any 7200 drive in burst speed, for copying/moving very large files sataII will come just above the raptor. so the raptor is faster, not by much but it is. this is considering that you are comparing 2 sataII drives in raid0 which i would definetly pick over a raptor, more space, queiter, cooler, longer life. but if you were comparing the raptor vs 1 sataII then the raptor will kill it by alot.

ringfinger Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 Thats what I figured ripken. Thanks for confirming that. It just seems like, why have this insane rotation speed compared to most drives but not have it on a SATA II interface yet? I understand, takes time, blah blah. My ultimate goal is infact to have 2 of the Raptors is Raid0. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 i am hoping that there will be a new raptor coming out next year when we sata3 should be out, it is 600mb/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringfinger Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 Well I hope they come out with a SATA II first as I have SATA II controllers, hehe. I think that another manufacturer should jump in the 10k arena, give WD a little competition and bring those prices down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I'm waiting for the 10 TB/sec drives because I'll never be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringfinger Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 LOL... yeah, those will be the days! We'll be complaining that 400 Petabytes aren't enough... haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) ahh we'll never need that, lolremember when bill gates said that we would never need like 1mb of ram or something like that, now 512 is too little, 1gig is that average,and some people are getting 2 gigs.

ringfinger Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 You never know, in 20 years a Petabyte may be the norm. Although it is insane, but 10 years ago who ever thought they'd have a TB?? It is a crap load of space though, we may never get there lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamiQuazi Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I was on a 250gb SataII drive and windows installed in 15 minutes... A retail copy of Windows not a nlited... lolAMD Athlon 4000+ 2gb of OCZ 2-2-2-5MSI K8N Neo4 Platnium... It was speedy... lol... I would opt for the SATAII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porn Loader Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I was on a 250gb SataII drive and windows installed in 15 minutes... A retail copy of Windows not a nlited... lolthats more the cpu than the drive... i can do a fresh install, to the desktop w/ mobo, vid, audio drivers dx 9.0c in ~30 minutes (updated drivers not the default ms ones) regardless of if im using a pata wd 1200jb (or bb? cant remember, the 8meg cache one) or a sata maxtor diamondmax 10 300gig (20gig os partition). i know my install time dropped immensely when i went to a64, i don't even use my ghost images anymore, after getting updated drivers in it doesnt make much more difference timewise.granted im not a maxtor fan, but the drive got good reviews here for a non-sata II drive. supposedly all the diamondmax built after april 05 are the same physically as their "enterprise" maxline series. best bet is to read around and see what fits your budget.

ripken204 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 is this your friends comp? thats a really nice setup, what ocz is that, the new 2x1? i think he has it 4x512 since its those timings tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringfinger Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 A Raptor w/ a 3.4, 2x512 ddr2 800 pc6400 should install faster then a SATA II though I would think. I've heard 6~8 minutes for non nlited XP Pro. Just wish there was a 10k drive on SATA II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamiQuazi Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 @ ripken:2x1 so he can upgrade to 4 gb when his parents give him more money...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820227210sorry the timings are 2-3-2-5... one off... lol... Ripken, I didn't mention the 7800gt... Brand spankin' new... that is one big graphics card... but it run some frames in WOW.... His limit was $1700...@everyone:I'm not a big maxtor since i bought a 60 gb and it died within 6 months...and i never bought one since... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
