Hi, Guest
Just got one of these: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB - their new perpendicular storage series. It's not the baby, but it's not the 750GB monster model, either. :D 16MB cache sure makes it "feel" smooth, compared to a single SATA 80GB 7200RPM 8MB drive, anyways.
It's fast, as quick on bootup and Windows nosing around as my 160GB SATA RAID-0... although I'm sure the RAID is faster for concurrent writes... hence why it's the new render target drive.
I'll be getting another next month so I can re-arrange the drives as a mirror. And some fans. Because I need more intake with 3 heat-farming SATA drives in the box. A single side 80mm doesn't cut it. 4 drives will surely render it "significantly warmer" again.
