is an ssd the only way to get an hdd score above 5.9?
my primary hdd is a western digital caviar black 1 tb drive and it has a score of 5.9. i was browsing through newegg.com's hdd page and was checking the price of a velocirapor 150 gb drive. i had assumed that anything over 7200 rpm would result in a score over 5.9. to my surprise, i saw this in one of the reviews:
to clarify my question in the post title, i'm referring to a single drive. although i don't know for sure, maybe two 7200 or 10,000 rpm drives in RAID 0 would yield a better score.
