there is a 7.200rpm speedier than Wd800jb??
Hello to all!
Exist an hd (7.200rpm 8mb cache, eide) more performant than WD800jb?? in every case...the new wd of same series but just of 100 or 120gb...are more performant that this???? Thanks much! Best greetings! -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

Its possible to claim that the Hitachi IC35L090AVV207 180GXP drive does perform a bit better in SOME situations, but there isnt much in it. in every case... Nope. the new wd of same series but just of 100 or 120gb... are more performant that this???? Yes, in some situations. storagereview.com has some pretty decent tests of those drives. |

If you believe
http://www.storagereview.com the larger drives in the series are faster than the 80 GB version, which must mean that the larger drives have higher-density platters. If you can use a serial ATA drive, you could consider the Western Digital Raptor drive - it's the first 10,000 RPM ATA drive - but it is only 36 BG in size. You can buy a 120 GB parallel AT drive with an 8 MB cache for less money, and (due to the higher platter density) it won't be that much slower at 7200 RPM. HTH.

Bob Knowlden Most new drives IMO are good in reguards to speed. The reason I got the raptor had more to do with access time. Drives with low access time feel much faster to me. If I were wanting to spend another $200 I would have got a SCSI controller and a 36GB 15,000 RPM drive Spending $139 on the raptor was a much better deal. Eric |

thanks much to all for the answer!
i was asking this...'cause really i have one of they (but don't know really how fast is cause i have broke the mobo of my pc...and for now, in the wait of choose entirely a new mobo and processor, i have a fu****g with controller udma33 (at top!:/) ) ....and in the case i need i can use it in raid! (i don't say this why i want to have a raid with this hd...but i say this cause i like the hd i have...and if is so i can do a raid with two of these....) the mine it's good queite ...but some other tell that it's a little noisy (so i don't know if i have the one more luckly...and if i buy another i will one of the noisy..as had write much other people...) it's for this that i don't know exactly what to do but if other eide drive are much faster wihout noisy...i will take other drive ('another cause it's that today the wd120jb for example have a better gb/price than 80jb.. ) Hello! (for the other drive, cause is for another kind of use..i have just opened another 3d) -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

Better access time can make-up for sustained transfer rate and vice versa. Better access time and faster. Doesn't the 120GB drive only have 40GB platters anyway? That is not going to make up for a whole lot. The only drives I see getting close are the 200-250GB drives coming out. Still slightly slower with higher access time. The raptor makes a great OS drive. Lots of tiny files that depend more on access time than raw speed. Compare the boot times with the raptor with the newer drives even. I've seen people do a complete boot in about 12 seconds with that drive. IMO it just feels faster as well. Eric |

Apparently the 120 gig JB's with 2x60 instead of 3x40 are identified by having DU in the 6 digit model number ie xxDUxx indicates 60 gig platters as does an LBA of 234441648 |
