WD 36Gb Raptor desirability??

[gorebrush]

Are these drives still worth having?

I was considering flogging these and getting a pair of 80Gb SATA2 disks, but not sure how they would stack up performance wise.

I have 2 of them running RAID-0 running my OS, and I would replace those with the 2 x 80's also in RAID (but going from SATA1-2 obviously)

What do you think chaps?

Hmm might have to do some tests of my own...

The new -ADFD versions (SATAII, 16MB, NCQ) are definitely worthwhile, but I'm not so sure about the -GD version. As far as I remember, the WD360GD isn't that much faster than the latest 7.2krpm drives, whereas the WD360ADFD is the same speed as the WD1500ADFD, the fastest drive currently available for desktop environments.

Mine will be the -GD... Better flog them then
