^^seagate pata 120gb in 3 partitions shortrun


tests are on NON RAID configs.

now i wonder, even my sata drive is almost the same as pata according to HD tach graph comparison. does partition effects the results of HD tach?

jordinho 223 compared to my 129.9 is way-way far.. thanks for replying.. so that means its not about the partition.. hmmnn.. i wonder why im only getting 129.9 on a sata 150.

guys dont get the 36gig raptors get the sataII im using them now on raid 0 and my benches on them suck compared to the SATAII hitachis on raid0 plus the hitachis are almost half the price

i dont exaclt understand what youre trying to say. might as well clear up the idea..

[jcy0001]

sorry for that i meant the raptors for the price you pay sucks compared to the sataII hitachis for half the price didnt mean to complicate things there i would sugest that if you bought a drive you get the SATAII hitachis over the 36gb raptors. hope that clarify's things just my 2 cents worth

jordinho:nice scored on your hitachi's maka suya
my 36gb raptors raid 0
short test 197.2MB/s
long test 194.4MB/s

guilliam: i think 129.9 on a single sata150 is normal
WD250gb sata150
short test 128.6 mb/s
long test 127.3 mb/s

@jcy0001,

hey thanks for clarrifying.. ehhehe.. im a HD noob.

and yes.. you have a point compared to that hitachi's and raptors.. darn.. really regreting why i bought two raptors.. grrrrrrrrrrrrr! it doesnt even support NCQ right(raptors)? my upcoming mobo supports NCQ(intel 955 chipset)

thanks again.

thanks jcy001 yours isnt bad either

ya no ncq i think na-a sa 74gb version i would think okey ra ang raptors if you already have them for OS on raid 0 then get SATAII with 16mb cache for data especialy the larger stuff. this thread got me into doing more research, and i found that the raptors are okey gihapon diay especially for OS so if you already have them no point in scrapping them coz that 10,000rpm still has its edge with real world application but if you buy a drive now SATAII is really the way to go now
thinking of getting the 250gb 16mb SATAII of WD for my videos and mp3's. Really good deal on them at newegg right now Has anyone tried the Western digital SATAII?

hey what size stripe u guys using for your raids?

[guilliam]

"hey what size stripe u guys using for your raids?"

same question also.. i'll be getting my raptors 36gb's into a RAID 0, thats a question also i wanted to know what suits best for this setup.
