Ooh, will have to check these out possibly for next build
In idle, we found it to be even quieter than 7,200 RPM drives.
aw man…i only clicked cause of the dino’s
BUMP!! For a 10K spindle speed unit it sounds like a great performer. Did anyone actually buy one of these and if so what was it like?
yup, I’ve got one and it’s very good for £/Gb against SSD’s.
I’ve now got the Velociraptor as the “Program Files” drive and the OS running off a stripe of 2x40Gb Intel SSD on my home machine. It’s whisper quiet as the storage drive array doesn’t get turned on unless I need it, thanks to some nifty caddies.

That must be a hoooogely fast machine m8y!! :eek:
unfortunately not, the SSD’s are bottlenecked as they are running through a cheap controller to span them into 80Gb, it’s fast yes, but capable of so much more given some other better parts
