    I have read that Maxtor higher end drives stand up well to higher fsb.

    I read elsewhere that it does make a difference if you are running a RAID or not, and what the controller is. One thread I read, stated that the 8mb buffer drives crapped out more often at higher fsb speeds than the 2mb buffer ones did.

    What mobo you using btw?

    Got an oldish samsung 40gb that works a treat, my amd system (kx7) was fine all the way to 222-225fsb which was simply the boards limit, depending on what sort of day it was having...

    if you're talking about IDE drive then Seagate Barracuda IV is one of them, if not the best. it never held me back @ UDMA mode

    Get an IDE RAID card--I hear these hold out longer than the onboard RAID controllers.

    Hey borg bob nice to see you on xtreme

    Kosmos

    I think you need worry more about 2 things....

    PCI bus speed, and is the ram fast enuff not to give cache errors...

    210fsb is np on some mobos no matter what the HDD...

    I use a silicon image raid card with 2x80gb maxtors in raid 0 and am yet to have a hd error that wasnt memory related...
    It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, it is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed,
    the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning, it is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

    Im using a ga-7vaxp card and 8 mb cache wd HD:S, i know it aint the mem crapping out...

    When i bought the HD:s everybody kept praicing them... but now when im been running them for some time, im getting pretty anoied... They are realy holding me back... and i don't feel like buying new HD:s either, cause the wd:S are realy great for storage and moving stuff around...

    So the reason i asked bout high fsb hd:s is just for getting the maximum out of my cpu, and do some benching


    Sry for bad english... im having a couple of beers with my friends
    Whats the answer to this question?

    What about the card with pci lock, is there a problem on the ide channel?

    might not help, but it sure wont hurt, personally i dont like to have toasty bare components, as with anyhting elese, heat compromises stability

    I was worried about this Before I bought 4 of these for a RAID 0 Array... On My New Prome/Lian-Li Project. I had a post up, to which several people replied, positively...

    On that, I bought one to test, and confirmed it's ability to withstand the FSB speed I required... Then I bought the other 3...

    WD1200JB SE.... @ 219 FSB With no problems...
