Thought I posted about this, but I guess not. I won a 400 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 SATA HD in a forum's contest and installed it a few days ago. :D

Code: 
HDDs:                                   [Used]   [Free]   [Size]
 WD 74 GB Raptor [SATA]          (C:)   37.1GB  32.14GB  69.23GB (NTFS)
 Seagate 400 GB File Dump [SATA] (D:) 214.23GB 158.38GB 372.61GB (NTFS)
 Maxtor 250 GB File Dump [SATA]  (E:) 108.59GB 125.17GB 233.76GB (NTFS)
Total:                                359.92GB 315.68GB  675.6GB
That's "725" GB, 675 "true" GB. :D :twisted:

Tested the read/write speeds on my hard drives using HD Tach: http://www.simplisoftware.com/Public/index.php?request=HdTach

Here's my results using the long bench (32mb zones). My drives are in RED. Drives from the program's database are in BLUE. I have a Pentium 4 3.0C GHz.

I defragged each drive 2 or 3 times after actually defragging them to make sure they were 100% defragged.

74 GB WD Raptor via SATA on the motherboard (10,000 RPM, 8? MB cache)

I would love a new HD, only got 160 GB at the moment over 3 HDs...
But the DivX Playa and the DVD Burner have had my budget...

//edit: Do the stats actually mean, that the Raptor is the slowest?

//edit: Ah, no, is see... the average read is higher with the raptor...

Burst means randomly accessing the HD, right?
 
Yeah, I was like WTF @ the burst speed being higher on the 400 GB too. Perhaps someone here knows why that happened...
 
^^ You're such a loser. I pity you.
EDIT: Left this Post for amusement :D
 
Hard to ingnore him... Show some respect!

:shock: I was just thinking what I could possibly do to actually use up my 320gigs of storage, but now you have more than that on a single drive!

I answered it pretty quickly though - more music! :p :lol:

Sorry to bring this thread up, but after reading this, I have nothing to say, considering that I'm one of the most active forumer over there... :| Oh well...
