Gipse Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Hi, I want to go for Raid0 in the next days but can´t decide which manufacture I should choose. I found these drives here in Germany for a reasonable price: Excelstore ESJ8160S 160GB 8MB SATA II I have never heard anything about this brand before; what do you think about it? http://www3.atelco.de/8AJiopKHcs1apT/1/art...&agid=689&adp=0 It is hard to find "small" drives these days; I don´t need 2x 250GB... Thanks for your help Gipse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel.sanders Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 hmmmmmm....never heard of these drives! What is the warranty on these drives? ..........damn! I still can't understand Germany's infatuation with David Hasselhoff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Esau Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 2- 80gb Hitachi Sata II are the fastest next to the raptors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos_2k Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 go with the Samsung Sp2504C (250GB)(I ordered them from Mindfactory after 0:00pm and hadnt to pay for shipping) for 62,5€ each. Raid0 on Nf4-Ultra-d with 32kb Stripe size. Works like a charm and is really cheap for 500GB. Theres a good thread at http://www.forumdeluxx.de/forum/showthread.php?t=239103 good German thread about them PM me if you have further questions regarding those hdds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gipse Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 @Brother Esau: As you can see here it is very difficult to get these drives right now in Germany; please have a look at the prices too... http://translate.google.com/translate?u=ht...Flanguage_tools @Chaos_2k: Nice find, thanks! But I think that this is too much for me. I can´t imagine how I should use 500GB of HDD´s. But I will keep this in my mind! Is there anything better/more speed and less capacity? Thanks! Gipse hmmmmmm....never heard of these drives! What is the warranty on these drives?..........damn! I still can't understand Germany's infatuation with David Hasselhoff! About warranty: http://www.excelstor.com/ Please ask Happy_Games about my avatar I was the greatest fan of Michael Knight in whole Germany :eek: during the 80´s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReelFiles Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Yup, Knight Rider was the bomb growing up in Germany, A-Team ruled too What about Western Digital? Their 16MB cache SATA 3 drives are pretty damn fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReelFiles Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I think that this is your best deal on there, if you're not into big drives. http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a167925.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These drives are sweet, nice warranty too (5 years). Are they better/faster than the 250GB Samsung drives? Both cost the same for me when ordering from Mindfactory...

ReelFiles Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I am a big fan of the WD 16MB cache drives, but if you can get 250GB for the same price, you might want to consider them. I don't think you'll notice much of a speed difference between them, in real world application. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gipse Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Here are the prices: http://www.mindfactory.de/cgi-bin/MindStor...26?pid=geizhals http://www.mindfactory.de/cgi-bin/MindStor...98?pid=geizhals So it´s only a question about cache, warranty and personal feelings... Will be hard for me to decide which one I should take. Gipse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
