Agent_H Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 So I went ahead and ordered a Raptor X 10,000 rpm 150 gig HD. Wow, if you are looking for an upgrade without rebuild a pc I recommend this one. I start windows now in 4 seconds and maps for games load like crazy. I also have noticed a slight fps increase in FEAR performance. Any one have experience with these?
Scarface Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 nah, not yet anyway. My raid-0 does just fine :)
Chris64 Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 So I went ahead and ordered a Raptor X 10,000 rpm 150 gig HD. Wow, if you are looking for an upgrade without rebuild a pc I recommend this one. I start windows now in 4 seconds and maps for games load like crazy. I also have noticed a slight fps increase in FEAR performance. Any one have experience with these? I have thought about purchasing one of them before, but I'm really partial to Seagate drives. I have just always had good results with them and until recently they were the only company offering five year warranties. As I understand it, in benchmarks the difference between a 10K & a 7200RPM drive of equal size,cache,I/O is minimal. With the high capacity perpendicular recording drives now the difference between a 7200RPM drive & a 10K is even further reduced. In some benchmarks I have actually seen the 7200RPM drive beat the Raptor by a millisecond or two. I'd love to see specs of someone with a Gigabyte iDrive, though. I've always wondered what the performance is out of them.
Earzz Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) Just run 2 74's in raid 0, thats outrunning a single 150 with ease. Even 2 7200 rpm disks are outrunning a single raptor. I love the permormance but i would never buy any raptors again they are just tooo fecking noisy. And i can tell got 3 of those noisy bastards. Edited March 30, 2008 by Earzz
