Wow those prices are pretty good. Don't think my motherboard will support them though.

 

[NikolaX]

yes your Asus A8V is not supporting SATAII native

my plan is getting 3200+ Venice and DFI nForce4 Ultra + this hitachi T7K250
i have orderd Corsair 2*512 4400 c2 and HIS x800XL turboII , cant wait ...

But...aren't Raptor drives still faster? The seek time and everything is lower for the Raptor

 

[westie]

Raptors are 10,000RPM so i guess they are faster. Hello Duffers20.

 

[duffers20]

Hello westie. Those test results do suggest that the SATA2 drives will be faster than a single raptor, but I havent had time to properly look at the results.
