Not to run in RAID, but having system files on a drive separate from data does make a BIG difference to the snappiness of your system.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: New 10000RPM ATA hard drive, and ATI X800

If you're on a budget then the 3000+ is half the price and not that much slower. If you're a rich bastard then the FX-53 is unbeatable.

Is SATA something new? My machine is a few years old--do you think it could support the 10,000 rpm drive? Chalky >> Stay informed about: New 10000RPM ATA hard drive, and ATI X800

It's similar to USB in that it's a serial connecton on a differential pair. the peak transfer rate across this interface is currently 150MB/s, but don't expect that speed up hard drives. > My machine is a few years old--do you think it > could support the 10,000 rpm drive? Yeah. You'll need a PCI SATA card (cheap enough if you can afford the drive :-p). This will obviously restrict your peak transfers to the weakest link in the chain - the PCI bus at 133MB/s. Still, you can't sustain even 80Megs/s from the drive, so it shouldn't be an real issue. Having a SATA controller built into the chipset is the best solution but is by no means compulsory, and rarely noticeable... depending on what else is on the same PCI bus. The drive in question has a few advantages over regular ATA devices in that it's 10k RPM, so latency is reduced. There are other advantages in the controller such as tagged command queuing, but I doubt that'll do much for you, unless you run a server with high I/O (in which case I would recommend a chipset with built in SATA controller). I have the WD360GD and it's pretty good, the WD740GD is even better. The most noticeable aspect is seek time thats reduced... transfer rates are not that dissimilar to current 7200RPM drives, but you can really notice the reduced seek (if you know what you're looking for). It makes it feel faster.

>You left out the Adaptec 2100s SCSI raid controller with 2 - 15,000rpm SCSI >72gb seagate drives striped. I am not into SCSI hard drives. SCSI hard drives are ridiculously expensive. 73GB Cheetah SCSI Hard Drive with 15000RPM is $650, you need a SCSI controller card that costs another hundred dollars or so. 74GB Western Digital Serial ATA Hard Drive (Raptor) with 10000RPM is only $250, and it doesn't require any controller card given the fact that all new motherboard have ATA socket. Because SCSI drives require different initialization at boot-up, there is a significant delay to boot up the Operating system. Performance-wise, in my own experience with Cheetah SCSI drive with 15000RPM, I didn't feel any faster performance of the hard drive when compared to regular IDE hard drive with 7200RPM. At the time, I was using Windows 98 as my operating system, and some say Windows 98 doesn't utilize SCSI drives. Maybe my negative and unsatisfactory experience with Cheetah SCSI drive with 15000RPM might be due to the limitations of the operating system. I mean, other than playing games and doing daily stuff on the computer, I am not using any other programs that take advantage of the features of the SCSI drive. Maybe that's why I didn't feel any difference performance-wise. I don't know...!?! With this new Western Digital Serial ATA hard drive at 10000RPM, I don't think it is all that appealing to get a SCSI hard drive with a big price tag.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: New 10000RPM ATA hard drive, and ATI X800
