Im lookin into gettin a Western Digital 36GB 10000RPM Sata drive mostly to see if theres a noticable speed difference. Im usin a Maxtor 120 gig ultraATA currently. If anyone has used one or even SCSI id like to hear your opinion. Im mostly lookin for the answer to: "Is it worth the $ for the speed?" The price isnt bad but still its $.
Western Digital 36gb 10000rpm Sata
i have the wd 36gb 10krpm sata drive. it works great and it is noticeably faster when loading stuff or multitasking. my previous drive was wd 80gb 8mb cache i think. i don't play any games or edit any videos so i can't say how much those are affected. i'm guessing its not too much gain compare to the price you pay. i don't need a lot of disk space on my workstation so i'm willing to pay more for a smaller faster drive. most of the time i just use computer to write programs or watch movies.
be shure to get two of them and RAID them, it will as haxor fox would say "roxor your soxors"
sata and 10k. you'll get a nice boost. ![]()
i haven't tried it myself, but people who have raided them really love it.
