Hitachi raid0 or 1x Raptor ?

[Steves_pc]

Hi all,

Currently contemplating a new hdd and been looking at the possibility of a Raptor for speed and seen a few benchies that looked quite good until i ran one of my own, Now i'm thinking i should raid a pair of these after seing the burst rate.

i'm guessing/hoping i'd get an average of around 75 MB/s

What do you think?

Funnily enough i thought i'd get a reply from you having seen your name all over the place
Just the sort of results i was after smids, Thanks

Yeah i realise it's a shedload to lose but i've got 5 other drives in the system so no shortage of space(if i tidy up that is!) and wont be short if i get another Hitachi 160 or raptor

That benchie with the hitachi is the same 160 i'm running by the looks of the stripe name 153.38 is the same as the size of my drive, so if thats accurate then i'm happy to go with that option as my mobo is a DFI NF4 Ultra-D with probably tha same NF4 Raid that produced that bench. i'd still like to try a Raptor sometime if only to say i tried one!
