Just don't know

Reviewed By: Stephanie Trapasso on 9/26/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: High speed equals fast access etc. I assume it really is 15k RPM.

Cons: I do not like the combo cables. Power and signal cables should be separate for many good reasons. The drive sounded like a sewing machine and and a dying moose on first boot. After 2 months it caused instability and later died. I RMAed through Jujitsu and they handled it promptly and very efficiently. I am very satisfied with that part.

Other Thoughts: I don't know, but I suspect the Raptors are as good or better.

Ideal RAID 5 Setup

Reviewed By: ToolTime on 7/24/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year

Pros: Fast and reliable. Designed to be powered on and left on. Not a minutes trouble with eight of these dirves in operation in the past year! This is serious high-end stuff - both the hardware and the knowledge to use it.

Cons: Cost. Also, technical difficulty in implementing SAS drives with a SATA mindset.

Other Thoughts: I have eight of these drives in a RAID 5 configuration on a LSI MegaRaid 8408E hardware RAID controller. The LSI controller occupies a PCIe x8 slot on my Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS4P MB. Using ATTO to get some benchies I have sustained reads of 700MB/sec. Sustained writes are 550MB/sec. Writes suffer because of the RAID 5 parity bit being written. Booting takes a while because the RAID controller needs to be read. I've not had a bit of trouble with POST or any BIOS or driver issues. Windows Vista x64 literally jumps onto the screen. Nothing seems to give this system trouble. As the saying goes, "if you can afford it, I highly recommend it".
