actionstan Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Hi, soon after I get my haf932 and have more room I am going to set up a raid 0 and I already have a single 640 gb western digital caviar blue and was thinking about getting a second one of them for a cheaper route, but was wondering if it would be better to buy two blacks instead if there would be better acess times is my big think but I haven't been able to fine and benches of the blacks, thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

feetfats Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 post yours up, I want to see how it compares with my dad's Barracuda and my Veloci Barracuda 7200.12 500GB VelociRaptor 300GB I bet two of those barracuda's in raid 0 would be retarded lol any idea how the wd 640 black stacks up against that barracuda? I have been toying with the Idea of getting a second one and doing raid 0,, my case is getting pretty full now so i'm not sure How big of a difference would it make and where will this performance boost be noticed? (ie.. will load times for games be faster?,, will gameplay be faster?,, I would assume the OS would be faster??) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really love my dad's 7200.12 though, it feels faster than my veloci Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water_Hazard Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 hey Ivi, what block size are you using for those hdtune runs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 hey Ivi, what block size are you using for those hdtune runs? standard 64KB I guess, I never changed the settings (so that we all had a standard). Should I use another size and repost?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water_Hazard Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 standard 64KB I guess, I never changed the settings (so that we all had a standard). Should I use another size and repost?? na I was just asking for comparisons sake. I had changed mine around and wanted to make sure I was using the right size. That Barracuda is fast here are my 3 640 blacks in Raid0 Ivi is right though. If you already have a blue no reason to switch to the blacks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
