Re: [Staffslug] Hard Drives
I suspect that a RAID array of cheaper discs my be faster for desktop users
(mostly random reads). I can't see how a single drive, even at 10k RPM, can
beat reading off two/three/four 7200rpm discs simultaneously.

Hi all,
I'm currently looking at experimenting by grabbing a new hard drive
for my laptop(s).
I'm looking at an SSD at the moment for a big speed increase... unless
anybody else can suggest anything better?
For my desktop I am looking at a WD VelociRaptor... they look pretty cool.
Anybody got any input on this?
Adam
