Screaming
- Pros: Got one a bout two years ago, i got a another one last month, Set them to Raid 0 very fastsmoking fast transfers, anything on the harddrives loads so fast you have to watch your doubleclicking....cause you might miss something.
- Cons: Not really a con, but i only have the 8 meg chache versions, not sure how much differencethe 16meg chache would make
- Other Thoughts: The drives are just plain fast, kinda much for them, but well worth it due to the lack of wait time for things to load.
Does what it is supposed to
- Pros: Very FAST drive, installed full windows XP Sp2, in under 17 minutes, on a 3500+ Athlon 64, 1Gig Corsair XMS Cas2 2x512k Dual Channel, Hitachi DVD-Rom Gigabyte MOBO, built in error correction on drive and realiability factors make it a plus, best setup 2 of these in raid 0.
- Cons: some times it does make a medium loud grinding noise, but compared to some SCSI drives this one is very quiet. Price is a bit high.
- Other Thoughts: You could get 2 high end sataII 300mbs drives in raid 0, cost would be just a little more than this drive and it would be totally quiet.
- Pros: It works. Runs better than some SCSI I know. Great seek times and it show it very well!
- Cons: only 69GB is usable. Not fast enough. Some of my PATA can almost keep up with it.
- Other Thoughts: I have a lot of mixed feeling about this raptor. Its ok for a gaming computer but thats kind of it.
