Seagate ultra-fast Cheetah 15k.6

solid state is comming

God dammit. Sorry about the dual reply

As Arnold would put it:This tajm its poersonal
I have tried 2pcs raid0 with 15k4 and 2pcs Raid0 with Raptor 1500. 10 files with a collected capacity 4.5-5gig was copied from one partition to another. Reboot in between. The seagate took 1minute 5sek. The raptor took 58 sek (less than a minute anyways).This is ONE discipline,yes. A windows bootup is acompletly different scenarie but that ALSO did not impress me with the seagate's. Im talking about REAL life experience. In these days i dont really care about static numbers.

brian, WD's 750gb drive doesn't even come CLOSE to the 15k.6 performance level.

Year, but does it translate i to better singleuser-performance. Western D's 750gig-thing should have the record for outer track raw data transfer.

Yes!!

"With its high rotation speed of 15 Revolution Per Minute" I think you mean 15 thousands revolutions per minute.
