Wouldn't a Seagate/Maxtor only be able to compete with a Raptor X if there were a couple of them in a striped RAID array? Surely you're not saying on a drive-to-drive comparison that a Seagate would beat the Raptor X?

Your write performance wouldn't be any better in a RAID 1 but the read performance would obviously be enhanced.
I think the current sweet-spot for drives is still at the 250GB mark, although here in the UK I did see Seagate 300GB models going for just a penny more per gigabyte. However, Seagates have really lost my faith in them over the years, mostly because they are so noisy, and run hotter than they did a few years ago. Samsungs seem great but they don't have the most capacious models in a SATA interface V_V. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
