Don't know but my 500gb F1 does the same.

I've got this too, not sure what it is though. Ran the Sammy diagnostic tools and came up clean.

How do you turn on write caching?

I want a burst speed of > 3000 MB/s! Currently just got one raptor 150, may think about getting another in the future to RAID 0 or get SSD

The velociraptor is a lot quieter than i expected. edit, found it, its been on all the time for all my drives excluding the external. Is write caching different in vista/windows 7 than XP?

Heres mine

Here in Vista

device manager drive properties

Not sure what each option does though

Looks pretty good to me.

danb21t · 31 Dec 2009 at 20:50

I have to say, since going to Raid 0 I have seen an good improvement in game loading times. Plus these disks are very fast to begin with..

Good times.
