    post your hard drive benchmarks :)

    ok, hard drives are one of the slowest computer components. lets see how yours compares

    tell us model, make and specs including buffer size, interface, RPM, and RAID configuration if applicable.
    then, post a benchmark using HD Tune 2.52
    HD Tune alternate download


    my western digital 80gb sata2 8mb buffer. i plan on adding another benchmark once i get it configured with an identical drive in RAID 0
    (benchmark taken with an X2 3800+ at 2.6ghz, the new benchmark will be taken with my core 2 duo and such...)

    Here is my lil' 7200rpm, 2mb, ATA133 (running on a SATA-1 controller) single platter Maxtor 40gb. Not much, but, it does the trick.
    The CPU is an Athlon 64 3700+ at 2.72GHz on a DFI Nf4 Ultra-D.

    nice, very similar in performance, looks like the sata2 interface didnt do much for my hard drive... i notice a 4C temp difference, .3ms access time difference... and quite a larger burst rate difference, though my drives minimum is slower.
    i wonder how RAID 0 will effect my performance in each area ?

    heres my dad hard drive, its a 60gig and its ide, but past that i have no idea what its specs are. his proc is an athlon 64 2800+ (754) 1.8ghz which i upgraded when his top of the line (haha) pentium 4 2.4ghz overheated and died.

    Cirthix 15k mau's in raid 0 very nice make a raptor look like a laptop 4200 drive :P

    I have some benchmarks somewere

    a 64 bit card in 32 bit slot and it hits pci limit with 2 15k mau's (faster 24/7 drive over atlas II IMHO)

    I know how fast MAUs are

    a single mau is fine for me now. i have a pcie raid controller i'm debating selling and might pick up a second MAU, but idk. one is plenty fast already hehe.

    Here is a friends Raptor setup, he's only run ATTO so far and hasn't run HD Tune yet.

    Single Raptor 74gb ADFD:


    Two Raptor 74gb ADFD's in Raid-0 on the Ultra-D's onboard raid controller:


    edit: Here are his raptors with the same ATTO settings you used, so the comparison is a bit more accurate:


    Two Raptors again but in HD Tach:

    Nice scores there but not up to scsi speed yet

    Remember that atto score was on a 32bit pci slot

    Can you post a link where the scsi stuff you're speaking of beats the Raptors by such a large margin (quote, "make a raptor look like a laptop 4200 drive")?

    I only have two 40gb's and they're really starting to piss me off at times, so, I've been looking into getting a new drive (or drives, if I'm lucky) around christmas. I was considering a single Raptor 74gb ADFD, but, if there is something that is quite a bit faster I'd love to hear about it (so far I haven't seen anything yet) so I could look into getting that instead.

    Most interesting results. These rock steady results were from 74GB Raptors in a 64Stripe on nVidia controller on Asus A8N-SLI-Premium mobo.

    Here you go with my system drive, a single WD740ADFD:




    It's the first time I try HD Tune so I was messing around and this came out, can anybody explain it to me?



    It is the data drive and it works perfectly apart from the temperature issue which is common for this series.

    This is my WD2500KS:



    As you can see the transfer rate value is much more linear than the one of the WD740ADFD and doesn't show the same huge falldowns which I don't really know what they are due to.

    well, so far it looks like the dual 74gb raptors in RAID 0 are winning... it looks to me like they're being bottlenecked by something, probably that danged interface... or maybe the pci channel or something...
    thats nice, a theoretical 20krpm hard drive lol dual 10krpm
    i'll have to get myself a set of those, that would be almost as good as getting my girlfriend a set of fake...
    earrings... whatd you think i was gonna say?? lol
