Check the Hitachi 7TK250s I think they offer better access times (don't quote me on that). They are available now, and are relativley inexpensinve. I've seen a review somewhere that benchmarked 3 of those hitachi's in a raid0 and it outperformed 3 raptors raid0 (probably due to sata300..) at a heck of a lot less money and more capacity. The review went on to raid0 4 of the drives and it either outerformed or was onpar with SCSI320 😱

i have three choices:
t7k250 - new WD 2500KS and WD 3200 JD
what do u think?

i omitted maxtor because of his short life, and the seagate because of his low speed and performance.

It will beat them all - to the trash can.
