WD 10K drives
Is the new Raptor 36G drive that much more faster than a regular drive?
And what about the new SATA? Is this going to become the new standard?

I'm not that impressed with the Raptor due to cost per GB. I calc'd it once and I'd have to spend about a 1/2 year's pay to get the same about of storage I now have (or it at least seems that way)
I keep hearing different dates for SATA-2, from 2005 - 2007 HTH TwoRails |

I have 2 WD 80gig w/8MB of cache. I had them setup in raid 0 but did not notice any extra performance. For my next build I was thinking of selling the 2 80gigs and getting 2 raptors...that would be sweet. |
