Fastest Commerical HDD?

yes but our question was would 2 Maxtor with 16 meg cash each on raid 0 beet out raptors on raid 0. Would the extra bandwidth make a difference with 7200 rpms.

I think the Raptors will win in a Raid 0 Setup. 10,000 RPM sure make a difference.
There are reveiws showing Raptors beating 15,000 RPM SCSI drives.

this is why i love my raptors.

i have benched my raptors next to my maxtor 250 gig with 8 meg cash just for fun. I get a 25 % increase in load times and a 27% increase in read and write times.

All we now need is SATA300 200GB & up HD's with 16MB buffer cache w/ 10,000 RPM & multiple arm extensions to find info faster in the drive.  :)

Its ridicules that HD companies are still using 7200RPM.  :angry:
This is obviously the bottleneck for our systems. They need to wake up  <_<

forces us to buy pointless upgrades to get faster systems. They know this.

ok i want to make a 100,000 RPM sata 3 900 gig HDD lol

And dont you dare tell me to wake up this chick on me is so fine.

I am always open for new business opportunities. God knows I know people with the skills to make things. If only I had 4 million dollars to get started.

Maxtor is the Best for now.

WE NEED 10,000 to 15,000 RPM HD's w/ 16MB to 24MB Cache.

HD companies are freeking Lazzzzzzzzzzzy. :angry:

how is maxtor best ? the 10k drives still kill maxtors 16meg cash

WD Raptor has a 150MHz Bus speed w/ 8MB Buffer cache @ 10,000 RPM

Maxtor has a 150MHz Bus speed w/ 16MB Buffer cache @ 7200 RPM

For some reason the Maxtor's Bus runs faster than WD's bus even though they are the same speed.

The Raptors are winners here, but WD's mistake was that they didn not come out with a 16MB cache for there super fast Raptors.
