but i thought we need to see d cache 1st??
then come d speed...
am i wrong??
ya lor...
i'm clueless about raid 0...

i dont think cache will bring significant improvement to hdd, maybe just a little bit?

from my humble opinion, the hdd rpm speed always come 1st, imagine a 7200 rpm with 32mb cache hdd vs 10000 rpm with 8mb cache hdd, for sure the 10K rpm hdd beat that 7200 rpm drive all the way round.

Higher rpm means ur harddisk spin more fast la...result in faster in accessing data(read/write etc)...improve performance..

common sense la biggrin.gif

Anyone here running on RAID-0? It is really a huge performance leap than being single? unsure.gif

I'm still thinking if I should get another 500GB to RAID it with my current one hmm.gif

Speaking about rpms, from old thread...

QUOTE(k!nex @ Oct 5 2008, 06:15 AM)
wanna ask u guys smtg. nowadays 7200rpm drives for 2.5inch HDD are easily can be found in LYP. u guys think does it justify to buy it as a external HDD for gaming?(example:some games not available in cybercafe, but u wanna play there.) in terms of price vs performance. including difference between e-sata and usb2.0 interface.

So where to find them cause its really dam rare when I tried to scout for it. Most that exist was those below 160GB.

i used to.....

to compare...

single WD250gb vs 2xseagate 320gb RAID-0

alot of difference... loading times are significantly faster...

but sadly one of the 320GBs died on me (few months only somemore)...lucky i managed to image my windows into a new HDD... which is the WD640gb

raid0 vs wd 640gb....raid0 faster...but not by much...the wd640gb is damn good...performance on par with ur 7200.11

so imagine how fast ur 7200.11 on raid0 brows.gif

only problem with raid0....HDDs tend to die sooner sad.gif
