Quite impressed with the speed of it, not bad. Not as fast as a Raptor obviously but not that far off too.

Here are mine

I think an upgrade is in order, this is my 6/7year old pc build

It shows how far technology has come:
60Gb IBM-5400rpm Ide-2mb cache-Connected to a the mobo raid, the disks are seperate tho, not mirrored or anything.

10Gb Fujitsu-5400rpm Ide- Connected same as above

LOL

LOL.
Aye, they are certainly slow compared to todays speeds. They do the job fine tho.

Altho a 500Gb would be handy, slightly restricted tho with me still be using IDE connections.

With all these new TB hd's coming on the market soon will be interesting to see how they compete against each other, not to mention the smaller capacity drives too!

Sarduk · 17 Jul 2007 at 23:55

Why do RAID-0 and RAID-5 results here have slower seek times than most single drive setups?

helmutcheese · 17 Jul 2007 at 23:57

You basically add the seeks together or possibly add 60% same as gain with Raid0 not 100% sure but I know they seek slower than same drive running single.

So does one running a Raid0 array actually have a system that feels less responsive than those running a single disk?

Am I going crazy or is this impossible, there are many people using 2x raptors and getting about 115mb/s, and secondly I thought raptors were limited by s-ataI and thus 150mb/s.

Can anyone tell me the limits of a pci IDE raid card with 3 drives on 2 cables

Thanks for looking.

Nicer burst speed, does that affect that much
