Guest boeingqa Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 guys looking at getting 2 HD`s 1 for OS and a few games and the Velociraptor for FSX could someone tell me if there was a big difference in performance from 1 or 2 velociraptors in raid could be as good as 1 OCz vertex turbo 120gig. If its not that much l might buy 2 WD velociraptors and but them in raid. Any help on this would go along way Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Routley Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 No ... a current generation SSD will be faster. The price per Gb is still a little high however. Hence, I am still using my raptors .... .... waiting ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest J van E Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I bought an SSD about two months ago and I will never ever buy a 'normal' hard disk again. It's fast and it stays fast. The fact alone that you never have to defrag again is worth it. (Now I never was a big defragging fan, but some people seem to spend hours and hours defragging their drives: you can forget about that with an SSD!) However, you might want to check out the Intel Postville SSD's: they support TRIM (which OS do you use btw?) and I doubt of that OCz one does. If it doesn't that means you have to run a program once in a while to get the SSD back up to speed: without TRIM they lose speed due to the way they work (don't ask me how: it's complicated). I have an Intel Postville SSD and Windows 7 is just as snappy and quick as it was the day I installed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Routley Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Vertex Turbo2 is not far away ...... It will shift the bar a bit, and no doubt the pricing. Waiting ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boeingqa Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Not sure which way to go, Intel or OCz. couldnt see anything with the OCz vertex turbo 2 yet wish it was sata 3 hehe but what are the prices for the Intel Postville are they the same with read and write?
