Hi,
I have got 2 36Gb Raptors. These are the old ones - the 8MB cache ones.
I am sick of their noise. As my I strive to get my PC more quiet the horrid sound of those raptors is becoming extremely irritating.
From what I have read, in modern terms, these drives are not really considered to be very fast anymore - despite their 10K spin speed.
I have an nforce4 mobo with onboard sata controller which IIRC supports up to 300Mb/sec transfer rates - is that SATAII ?
I am looking to replace both drives with one SATA drive. It does not need to be big as I have a 500Gb NAS. Anything about 36Gb is fine for me.
I was hoping someone could spec me a good, solid, fast (ideally faster than what I am used to with the raptors, SATA drive that I can buy from oc.
Thanks
