New Hard drive

[Paintedeyes]

so in the near future or so i plan on gettin a new hard drive or 2. i've been looking at a 10k rpm sata one, now see there's such thing as 15k scsi but i'm pretty sure i can't use scsi. i was wondering if there is such thign as a hard driver faster than 7200 rpm that is sata II? or what would be in my best interest to keep my comp the fastest it can be with hard drive speed

The Western Digital Raptor is the only non-SCSI 10k drive right now, there may never be others. It's only SATA 150, but that's still plenty of bandwidth for a single drive in sustained transfers.

A 7200RPM Seagate 7200.10 drive is quite competitive with the Raptor as well.

And no, unless you knew you had SCSI, you don't.

You say you want FAST?
You say you want FASTER than a 10k Raptor?
You say you don't want SCSI?
Prepare to wet your pants when you meet... THE i-RAM! :shocked:

Nothing is too good for you

Yeah but it only supports SATA150. Memory should be able to thoroughly saturate an SATA300 link. They could have even put two links on, and made it possible to divvy the memory up and RAID it, and still need more bandwidth. (Although if it is actually running at only 33MHz, it can't quite hit SATA300. Unless it's DDR66 actually, in which case it could. Obviously running the memory anywhere close to normal speed would be astounding bandwidth for a drive.)
