[Digital Viper-X-]

does it really matter =p
the bigger question is, I have a pair of 7200.11 in raid 0 500GB will he 640s be faster =p? (matrix raid 250gb main / 750gb data )

I have a feeling that a WD Black 640 will be coming out soon. At that time there will be some sites that will do a review of all of the competition but for now there is no comprehensive review for the Seagate drive out yet.

Thanks to kid744 for this link:

I am surprised that they did not take this page down.

For the WD drive, 3dgameman has a single and Raid0 comparison on raw speed.

So the burst speed is the same...for gaming/general everyday use, is raid 0 even useful?
