I thought it would be interesting to compare everyones hard drive performances with screenshots from HD Tune utility (get from
HD Tune ). Maybe after some time we could produce a results table.
So heres mine:
Im going to show you the single WD Raptor X results first for interest:
And this week I received a WD Raptor 150 which I have now attached to the Raptor X in RAID 0 (128kb stripes):
This is now my current OS combined drive.
So lets see yours and how they compare.

How do you enable write caching?
Go to 'Device Manager' --> 'Disk drives' and you'll find it on the 'Policies'-tab of your HDD.
(It's enabled by default)
