Buy me a 3rd and sure.
I know for a fact going by Raid0 (2HDD's) in this forum and from reviews.
The fact is the SCSI HDD are now old tech, its not simply about Spindle Speed as you can see from the older Raptor 8MB & 16MB v a new gen 7.2K HDD.
A home user actually does not need SCSI.

Buy 3x VelicoRaptors just to "P" her off and you should see 300MB/Sec or near as damn it. 
I reckon 3 x 450Gb 15k.6 Seagate SAS drives would blow that away...
I doubt that 3 x raptors (10k rpm drives) would beat 3 x seagate SAS drive (15k rpm)
I'm welcome to be proved wrong though!
The big thing with these SAS drives though, is that Custom PC did benchmarks on them this month, and the benchmarks were better than real world performance.
Tell you what though, these SAS drives run EXTREMELY hot... you couldn't hold one in your hand after it's been running a while...

Hmm, 3x VelicoRaptors will beat that
I might be doing this after Christmas depending on how my spending goes.

@ psykix, Once again, your speed is crap for 3x HDD's (comparing to newer HDD's even 7.2K's , 3x VelcioRaptors can beat it.
Once again, I only have 2 and for this temp install not Raided.

Samsung F1's Range!! 320+750+1000
These 3 HDs are in my I7-965 setup. CPU Usage on all is very low with I7
Very impressed with the 1TB model.
750 seemed very fast when I got it in Jan but now feels a little sluggish for some reason even on a new Vista build. 320 gives good benchmarks but does not feel much quicker than the older Samsung 2504C it replaced

Whoosh.
Had two of these drives for the past three years (WD Caviar SE 80gb SATA - one for O/S, other for storage). I just can't be bothered to upgrade them with something else. I'm trying to hold out for some better value solid state drives to appear (128GB would be enough for me).
Are you sure the drive itself is faulty - did you run the manufacturer's diagnostic software for example?
(obviously the performance there is very bad but it can be down to other things)Are you sure the drive itself is faulty - did you run the manufacturer's diagnostic software for example?
I ran chkdisk and seatools and they both found errors. Seatools apparently fixed the errors but 8kb is still in bad sectors. I have 3 other hard drives working at normal speeds. What could I be missing that would make this drive fine but still exhibit this speed and produce errors in long tests?
