Nitrousbird Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Would prefer matching. Anything over 15GB is fine. I don't need a 10,000RPM drive; 5400 is good as well. Price is a factor; will be for a RAID 0 setup. Before anyone thinks this is for some gaming setup, it is actually for DVD encoding, where my current 7200 RPM hard drive is just getting hit too freaking hard when ripping/encoding 2 DVD's and encoding a 3rd saved on the HD, causing a very significant slow-down in the whole process.

Mr. Jones Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I would seriously get 2 7200rpm semi-recent drives. Hell, a single new WD 640gb is almost as fast as a raptor nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But two 20 GB 5400RPM drives in a RAID 0 would still be faster than a 40 GB 10,000RPM drive overall, correct? And most likely end up costing less.
