well due to some $$ constraints, I went with 2 x 500 gb Seagate ST3500641AS. There 16mb, 3 g/ps xfer, and have that NCQ. As soon as the 64 bit vista shows up Ill try to do this, ty for all the help. Hopefully next post will be Im back up and running, and NOT about me needing more help...lol

ok so if im going to stripe 2 x 640 mb drives (performance right) help me put together a step by step. 1. Remove old drive, install both new drives 2. Do i just auto detect, or do I have to go into bios now to set up the raid stripe? 3. When/ how do I create the partitions, and does anyone...

what is an SSD drive? Also, I was under the impression i would put the system drive on its own, then games/ apps on a diff drive? Should I put games and stuff in C drive? Or if I do 2 x 640 mb drives, and make it raid 0 for performance, do I put windows on C, games on D, music on E, etc...

is the 640gb wd the cavalier model?

damn over 300...expensive stuff....is there anything else I could go with for solid performance using 2 drives? Thats a bit expensive.

ok, just curious, I tried to find the new drives and they dont seem to be available, does anyone know where to actually buy a velociraptor drive? If I cant get them, does a raid setup for performance require matched hard drives? If they need to be exactly the same, and I cant get the new...

ok, so there is something newer than the raptor called velociraptor? how big are they?

so there is no performance benefit from using a raptor 10k drive as the system drive?

anyone? I got a new drive, same deal, its not being detected by the bios, its not spinning up, or doing anything, very frustrating.

I have a evga 680i sli mainboard, and a seagate 350 sata drive. I purchased a WD raptor x 10,000 rpm drive and have not been able to get it detected by my bios, or windows. I 1st tried to install it as a stand alone drive, but vista keeps asking me to load drivers during the install??? What...

This is driving me crazy.

Hello, I am currently using a 350 GB HD with several partitions on it. C has all my system files, and the the others have my game, music, etc files. I want to add a new 150 gb 10,000 rpm drive in as the boot drive with my system files, and then delete the C drive from the old drive and use...

The only thing I can see to do with dram shows options for clocks? 2 clocks, 4 clocks, etc, something like that, have never seen that before. I dont see anything to adjust the speed. For some reason its clocking it down from teh cpu in a 3:2 but I dont know why,
