Raptor Performance

Danger Phoenix · 9 Jul 2007 at 12:41

I currently have 3 x SATA drives in my machine totaling 1.32 TB and I was thinking of investing in a 36 GB Raptor for my Windows and Programs installation. Will this be a significant performance boost to the system, or should I just save the money and stick with what I have at the moment?

I don't have any raid set up, and all the drives are less than 4 months old (one was purchased two weeks ago

)

I recently added a 150g Raptor to my 500g SATA Hitatchi & used it for boot. I noticed a considerable decrease in boot time yet wonder how much of that is due to a rebuild.

It's also a lot quieter than I expected, much quieter....

Will 36gb be enough for Windows and your program files ??

Regards

Yeah, 36GB will be fine, because I currently use 40GB for all that, and it includes all my documents etc... so I should have approximately 10GB after everything is installed

There are a few Raptors on sale in the MM... I was wondering what the noise from these drives was like?

I am also worried that adding a 5th drive will just kill my system, because my PSU won't be able to take it:
