Show us your hard drive performance

Here are the numbers for the Seagate Desktop HDD.15 4TB drive. Pretty good considering it is a 5900 RPM drive!

Great numbers. It's better than most 2.5" 7200 RPM laptop drive.

I'm quite happy with my hard drives

Here is my data drive. Still have most of my data on my networked drives so it has plenty of space left.

I'm not sure what to think of this ?
I'm sure it needs a partition,

It looks fine to me, if it's your OS drive it has a partition.

Only because I forgot to merge and format it
Got in a hurry,

My laptop has a larger cpu usage,

 

[theveterans]

I think it's normal for a pure dual core to show a bit larger CPU usage than quad cores with hyperthreading on the same test.

Guys is a raptor (10,000rpm) drive still worth buying? I haven't really needed a faster HDD before but right now the windows is a bit slow and raptors are cheap enough. What i want to know is,compared with the normal 7200rpm drives available these days,are raptors really a significant step forward? I found a 160GB WD raptor in 25$ so thought might as well ask.

There are a lot of factors that go into that but generally, yes they are worth buying.

Good enough for me
And i heard there are some compatibility problems if you use them with normal HDD's,is that true?

 

[Britton30]

Sure a Raptor is still a speedy drive but not like a SSD. I've not heard of any compatibility problems with other drives, unless maybe in a RAID set.

Here's my external backup USB HDD:



Not too shabby.

And just for kicks, here's my RAM drive's results:

Has anyone been able to get their hands on one of those velociraptor 10000 rpm drives from WD?

The sequential read/write speeds are decent, but still nowhere near an SSD in ANY category.

This is from my desktop. I don't know why minimum is so low...
