cjloki Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Again. CJ - RAID 0 is not going to help loading times or anything else appreciably except sustained read/write speeds. For file serving it can help but for most people it's not worth the increased complexity and risk. thanx waco, i'll just single it up then n keep the other for something else,...no problem...

bigball1 Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 waht does that mean BB ? We have had many topics on Pros/Cons, Fast/Slow. Yes/No, I do/ I dont, better/worse, raid 0 or 1. And everyone has there two cents on which is better for this or that. It just brings back so many nice memory's of each other bitching about raids.

wevsspot Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Acronis is a wonderful tool. For traditional hard drives in my personal rigs I don't use anything other than WD Black or WD Raptors. Many have tried to change my ways, and many have failed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheGamer11 Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Yeah that's how I first cloned my hard drive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroFight Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 I'm currently running a 250GB 7200.8 Seagate drive, and it's really old (about 2008-09), yet it's still ticking along nicely in my rig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSoprano Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Seems to me the older Seagate drives were a lot more dependable than the ones made in the last 1 or 2 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkerde Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 sweet info here. I was planning on getting a wd black also but they cost alot, estimated times for the hard drive prices to go down again is 2014......damn flood. I have a seagate barracuda right now, it boots pretty fast but wanted a 2nd drive to store my videos on to edit from that drive, we black looks like it'll fit the deal.

jj66 Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Fastest laptop 7200 drive is WD black 750 , I have that and Seagate xt 750 hybrid , seagate faster boot , WD faster read write , seagate is not what they used to be , have had a few of the newer drives go bad , . I think they started going downhill 3-4 years ago , back then they were the best . Think WD Black are best now . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
