Great review mate, and super nice drive! I bet a pair of these in RAID 0 would really put the house on tilt

Nice review, I can only imagine how nice it would be to have one of those babies

looked good but 2 things cought my eyes.

the first one was the hdtach burst score, roughly 133mbyte/s indicating the harddrive was limited to sata1.

that in turn indicates the ncq might have been disabled as the sata controller itself may not support it.

i get over 230mbyte/s in burst speed on my 160gb seagate.

EDIT:

did a quick check on the motherboard and its supposed to have sata2 which also means it has ncq.

any idea why the burst speed was so low ?

 

[FarFarAway]

Hmm good point mate

Not sure about that. It should have had NCQ enabled

I'll have to check what's up and get back to you

Also, when you did the file transfer, from one drive to the other, the scores were pretty much the same for the raid and the seagate, I think this is due to the bandwidth of the OS drive?

Did you leave it in SATA mode, and not enable SATAII? If so, why? That just totally boggles my mind..

 

[FarFarAway]

I've looked into this and it should be enabled. I will try this again tonight and perhaps wednesday when I have a new motherboard

Review back up for now
