WD 5000KS vs WD 5000AAKS

The bit I was reading at storagereview was talking about how the Seagates don't have AAM acoustic management which is what makes them fast, but is also what makes them a tad more audible. For a normal rig where silence isn't the main priority the 7200.10's gotta be a clear winner.

I'll run some tests on my 7200.10 when i get home and slap some graphs up for ya Mafflich.

As promised Mafflich, the graphs:

320GB 7200.10

36GB Raptor (16MB cache)

Means nothing unfortunately. The STR on the new WD of yours eats both the Raptor and the Seagate. Nice drive there dude.

can you run some benches......Fugger had 4xRaptors in Raid0 with 120 sustained which is probably realistic but these HDD benchmark *****s around here might go nuts as to low performance

to which i say get a real raid controller hahah
