Mac Pro stock HDD Vs aftermarket

Would seem the stock HDD isn't all that fast in the Mac Pros. Must admit I've not looked into it, but I was surprised at that. 8 cores, room for shed loads of RAM, and a slow HDD?

Anyways, there's the RAID (first post) and single disk results (further down) to mull over.

Fancying another 500GB drive to raid with the one that came today now !

Thats very interesting. Sounds like its best to get your own drives and set them up by yourself. You really going to use all that storage?

What, two 500GB drives? Am i buggery, but it'd be fast
